2013-03-25 (0.6.3)

• New tooltip face colors used on themes with light background.
• Pseudo-tooltip stays up-to-date when text is inserted after the point.

• Some performance improvements.
• Fixed two old tooltip annoyances.
• Instead of overrriding-terminal-local-map, we're now using emulation-mode-map-alists (experimental). This largely means that when the completion keymap is active, other minor modes' keymaps are still used, so, for example, it's not as easy to accidentally circumvent paredit-mode when it's enabled.
