Well, actually I only have to press it once, same in REPL. Even in my  
cygwin bash. But as you see I'm using windoze+XEmacs so possibly this has  
something to do with (your) OS X (configuration). Though pressing the same  
key twice isn't a problem, either (I think).

The only problem is that since TAB is used for indenting and completing  
code there may be ambiguities. Some are resolved nicely by choosing indent  
when in doubt. The other one, though is not so nice-it completes `no'  
symbols meaning that it lists _all_ symbols, which may be quite slow and  
annoying. But this is the only problem I noticed and it happens not that  
often for me, so I can live with it.
