R help - Oct 2008 - Disabling the auto-complete feature in named list indexing

Is there any way to disable the auto-complete feature when we index a named
list?
E.g: a <- list ('longname'=1, 'anothername'=2)
a$l will return 1 and a$a will return 2
the '[[' operator behaves in the same way, the '[' operator does
not do
autocomplete.

Is there any way to disable autocomplete for all the operators?

Thanks

No. Too many "surprises" if you do that (notice that it would affect 
everybody elses code along with yours). There's an exact= argument to 
[[, though (see ?"[[").
