Two comments mention this, but then the solution would be in the
preferences, not in the code.

So maybe you would want to disable autocomplete for form fields in which a
given person may enter lots and lots of very different data. Like
"ticker_symbol" for those financial quotes, or "search" for that matter.

Thanks, guys. Hadn't thought of that. And I've got code that can benefit
today from this...
