Auto-complete names on typing @ - Github-style

I implemented a simplified version of tab completion in #34, let me know if that fits your second comment

It's a good start; perhaps later it could show a list to easier select a user. For example, if there are multiple users with names that are close to eachother:

• a
• aabb
• ab

As soon as I hit @ I'd get a list of all users in the channel. As I type in a letter, it will narrow down to users starting with those letters. @a => ['a', 'aabb', 'ab'].

This could be reused for commands using / as a trigger.

I understand what you mean but was hesitant about modifying the UI without first getting @AndrewBelt's thoughts. He has done an excellent job at keeping it clean and simple, so perhaps he can chime in on whether we could have some type of pop-up list for usernames?

I like #34. I'll get to it tonight, maybe. I have to keep the production server stable tomorrow since I'll be gone all day, but it looks like a simple small change.

Looks like this issue can be closed since #34 is now merged.

no because we still have no highlighting when mentioned :(
