`auto_match` slow and hogs CPU in some cases
To reproduce in IPython 8.2, paste `function_with_long_nameeee('arg`, and add the closing quotes at the end.
The slowness increases when the prefix is longer (in this case dominated by the function name `function_with_long_nameeee`), so if you don't notice it, try increasing it).

## Steps to reproduce with docker

1. Build the image and start a container:

```sh
build_oci_img() {
  docker build "$@" - <<EOF
  FROM python:3.8-slim
  RUN pip install ipython==8.2
EOF
}

build_oci_img
docker run --rm --interactive --tty "$(build_oci_img -q)" ipython -i -c 'get_ipython().auto_match = True'

```

2. Paste `function_with_long_nameeee('arg` and then type another `'` (single quote)
