how to disable auto suggestion in Version 8

See original GitHub issue

I find the new auto suggestion mode very distracting. making ipython basically unusable.

How can I disable this? (I would appreciate if you did not enable new features to the UI by default in the future)

From the documation or a grep of *.py files of IPython I could not find how to do it.

I tried in my ipython config file

c = get_config()
...
c.enable_auto_suggest = False

but with no success.

It would be good if you could add a clear documentation on how to disable it in a prominent place.

I install current IPython 8.1 development from git

pip3 install -U git+https://github.com/ipython/ipython.git

and in my IPython config file I set

c = get_config()
c.TerminalInteractiveShell.autosuggestions_provider = None

Can autosuggest be an opt-in thing? I really would hate to have to keep disabling it instead of being productive.
