/**
    To install custom completion handlers, add a method
    named customCompletions(). It takes 1 argument (the string
    entered up to the point where TAB was pressed). It may
    return nothing (no completions), a single string (a unique
    completion) or an array of strings (multiple completions
    through which linenoise will alternate on subsequent
    presses of the TAB key).

    Throwing an exception from the callback will propagate it
    up to the call point but, due to linenoise internals it
    does not get triggered until the user has pressed
    ENTER or the local EOF sequence (Unix: Ctrl-D).

    In the context of the callback, 'this' will be the
    linenoise module object.
