Description

The REPL added in #80 has built-in autocompletion:

autocompletion

However various built-in objects do not take full advantage of this:

  • Actor does not have autocompletion for attributes delegated to the ZRect
  • Loaders do not have autocompletion for the objects that can be loaded
  • more?

We should implement __dir__() on these classes and others to ensure that autocompletion lists all valid attributes.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the current classes (Actor, Loaders, etc.) and list their attributes. Implement dir () on each to return the full set of valid attributes, including delegated ones.
