Does anyone have a non-proprietary lisp implementation of support
for NAME-COMPLETION?  I am NOT particularly interested in a
user interface (echoing, line-editing) for name complettion, but
in the underlying support for keeping track of a moderately large
(several 1000s) collection of names so that it can be rapidly
indexed based on the leading string.

(A user interface would be gladly accepted as well, however.)
