MantidPlot: script interpreter type-ahead functionality should be case insensitive

Description (last modified by Martyn Gigg) (diff)

The type-ahead functionality in MantidPlot's script interpreter is very useful, but you have to get the capitalization right. Would be better is you could type all in lowercase and still get the command suggestions.

CreateW --> gives you CreateWorkspace

Createw --> gives you nothing but should give you CreateWorkspace

It would also be nice if only the commands we suggested, and not the command dialog. We usually get two choices for every type-ahead command, one of which is always useless.

Although the problem discussed in the description still remains in IPython the benefits of IPython outweigh this minor issue.
