[Bf-python] Naming Conventions for Better Autocomplete

[Ian Thompson]

Hey,

Since it is difficult to guess the type of variables in Python without
running the script itself, the autocompletion system is currently
limited. It has been suggested that I honour naming conventions for
Blender types so that a variable's members may be suggested as well as
the modules and data types already supported.

After a bit of experimenting I found this quite easy to add. I just
thought I should get some opinions before I make my guesswork the
standard! I have currently got the basic Blender type prefixes working
(ME for Mesh, OB for Object, etc.). These can be used pre- or
postfixed and in upper or lower case. For example,

ob_somename = Object.Get('Suzanne')
somename_me = ob_somename.data
somename_me.<<mesh suggestions appear here>>

I aim to support all entries in Blender.Types, of which my wiki page
has a complete list:

If you use prefixes (or suffixes) a lot when scripting in Blender,
please let me know what you use.

Thanks a lot,
