When the 'suggest' function is passed to the 'source' callback, there is a race condition that can result in caching the suggested completions against a value that has since been updated. Instead, we add the current value for which we are asking for suggestions as a parameter to the 'suggest' function and bind the value at the time of making the 'source' callback.

When the
suggestfunction is passed to thesourcecallback, if the user is still typing, it seems that thethat.valvalue may have changed beforesuggestis called. This can result in caching completions for the incorrectthat.valvalue.For example, I observed when typing "umbrella" that the results for "umb" could be cached against
that.valof "umbr" and then incorrect results would be displayed if I deleted letters from the end of the full word.This PR adds the value for which we are looking for suggestions as a parameter to the
suggestfunction and uses.bindat the time the function is passed tosourceto record the value at the time of invocation. This way, when we cache values fromsource, we cache them against the same value that was passed tosourcewhen we invoked it.I'm not sure from this project's README what your policy is on browser support.
Function.prototype.bindworks on all modern browsers, but breaks on IE8 and earlier, for example. Will that prevent you from accepting this PR? If so, I can work around it.
