Version 0.1 of package External-Completion has just been released in GNU ELPA. You can now find it in M-x list-packages RET.
External-Completion describes itself as: =========================================== Let external tools control completion style =========================================== More at https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/external-completion.html ## Summary: Written by Stefan Monnier circa 2016. Variants of this code have been working stably in SLY and other packages for a long time. The `external' completion style is used with a "programmable completion" table that gathers completions from an external tool such as a shell utility, an inferior process, an http server. The table and external tool are fully in control of the matching of the pattern string to the potential candidates of completion. When `external' is in use, the usual styles configured by the user or other in `completion-styles' are ignored. This compromise is for speed: all other styles need the full data set to be available in Emacs' addressing space, which is often slow if not completely unfeasible. ## Recent NEWS: [Not available 🙁]
