Fair enough, we *do* need MatchProvider subclasses for this sort of
thing instead of the GuessXXX functions I was writing, to provide
extra hooks for inserting new entries, learning and so on.

How should match providers know the context of their matching?
(for street names, we need to know the postcode, urb, etc.) 

One solution is to provide a dictionary of <widget name>:<widget contents>
problem is, we need to know the context when searching, not at widget setup.
So the dictionary could be an object implementing __getitem__, so we
always get the "current" values of widgets.
