Steps to reproduce

Expected behavior

PredictionSource aka predictive IntelliSense should be available in 2.2.0-beta1 with PowerShell 5.1.

You need install pre release:

Install-Module -Name PSReadLine -AllowPrerelease -Scope CurrentUser -Force -SkipPublisherCheck

Restart terminal and try again.

To install latest Beta release, open Admin CMD:

cd C:\Program Files\PowerShell\7
pwsh.exe -noprofile -command "Install-Module PSReadLine -Force -AllowPrerelease -SkipPublisherCheck"

(Note: Apparently no need to uninstall the older version.)
