IPython Tab Completion#

pymmcore-plus provides an IPython completer that allows you to use tab-completion for methods on the CMMCorePlus object. If you hit <Tab> after the parenthesis of a core method that expects the name of an existing device, you will be presented with suggestions for the names of loaded devices (of the appropriate type).
