When Shift is depressed, Tab cycles autocompletion suggestions in the forward direction rather than reverse.

Looks good! I just noticed this was missing the other day, glad to see you add
it =) [Collision: I agree with Tim's r+]

I haven't seen a case where we use (null + #) but this works fine in JavaScript
and the code is pretty clean here.

Is just event.shiftKey enough? Do you feel that we should say something
stronger like this:

    event.shiftKey && !event.ctrlKey && !event.metaKey

TextMate for example allows Shift+Esc to go back through a list but not
Shift+Ctrl+Esc or Shift+Alt+Esc. Apparently Safari / OS X captures these
combinations and handles other actions, but it could be possible that other
platforms would let such a combination through. Either way, I think this is
unlikely to occur, but something to think about.
