 When entering tags in the meta box on a post (or page) edit screen in
 admin, the AJAX autosuggest will suggest tags that have already been added
 to the post (i.e. shown below the input field).

 Steps to reproduce:

 1. Go to the post edit screen.
 2. Add a tag (example: "Apple") to the current post.
 3. Type "App" in the tag entry field and wait for autosuggest to come up.
 4. "Apple" is listed in the suggestions dropdown.

 I've investigated this a little, and I don't think there's a really easy
 patch for this (mostly because of how suggest.js works). However, it would
 imho be very elegant to fix this. Perhaps autocomplete.js can be of
 service here (see issue #12399)?
