[MonoDevelop] [patch] code completion

Hi.

I suggest a little patch to code completion code.
What irritates me when using MD and ctrl+space
is that first match automatically completes what I have typed.
Worse it often overwrites what I have typed, if no match was found with
typed prefix.
Considering drawbacks of finding proper completions I suggest disabling
this automatic choice of first match. It does not slow down coding but 
acts a lot more like expected.

I suppose after NRefactor integration it will sooner or later behave
differently, but for now this change is IMO good.

Opinions?
