tab-completion on the cmdline does not appear to work for autoload functions

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When trying to tab-complete an autoload function on the cmdline, it fails to 
complete properly after the dash ("#").

E.g., `:call neobundle#ge<tab>` will complete `call()` etc, like with `:call 
ge<tab>`.

The completion works properly with e.g. `:tj`, but that's likely because it 
completes tags file identifiers as-is.

Where/how is the completion for `:call` defined?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Vim 7.4.417

Thanks!

It works now for "call", but not for e.g. "echo".

The following patch fixes this, but is likely not the correct way:

diff --git i/src/eval.c w/src/eval.c
