I use dabbrev for that, with the following patch...
You might also be interested in `icicles.el', which enhances `dabbrev.el' by
providing `dabbrev-completion' (bound to `M-C-/') with cycling of completion
candidates (in addition to completion). It also lets you complete using a
regexp and provides some other features.
