[jboss-as7-dev] cli: default tab completion list

[Brian Stansberry]

Note the suggestion is to prefix them with : so the text is what the 
user would have to actually type. So they would be naturally segregated 
in the list.

There are a number of low-level commands that are going to be routinely 
used, :read-attribute, :read-resource etc. So people are going to be 
conscious of low-level commands and IMO hiding them doesn't make much 
sense.  Unless there is a high level command that does the same thing as 
all the regularly used low level ones.
