Filter Autocompletion is an enhancement that bring up the protocol's fields in
a convenient way by popup-ing a list containing all the fields of the typed
protocol.
Marker characters that bring the Autocompletion popup window up are period and
decimal point. As the user types one of these marker characters immediately
after the name of the protocol, a pop-up window brought up suggesting matches.
The user can either accept the suggestion by typing a statement completion
character (Tab or Space) or continue typing the name.

Attached patch insert this enhancement only into the "Display Filter" dialog.
