Node.js REPL with vim keybindings AND method/variable completion

As far as I know, the standard way to get vim keybindings in the Node REPL is to use rlwrap like so:

NODE_NO_READLINE=1 rlwrap node

This, however, kills method and variable tab-completion. Is there some workaround?

It's two years out of date, (as is this question), but hey.

Seems impossible. You can put your own completion file in /usr/share/rlwrap/completions and have some primitive(no variables) completion but that seems useless in a repl.

Here's the explanation from the rlwrap author himself:

Can rlwrap use a wrapped command's own TAB completion?
