The most effective completion (for ruby) comes from asking the ruby interpreter itself "what do you know about X". I will probably add a fail-over to syntax completion as someone else mentioned. I wonder how microsoft manages their completion system, I'm of the belief that they are also using introspection (probably in some sort of sandbox).
It would be nice if I could access the spelling/underlining stuff to provide syntax error information. I haven't look too hard yet to see if this is possible, but I for one would find it useful. > P.S. Is that really your mail address? Looks bogus to me. But then if > it were, you shouldn't stay long on the mailing list... Yes, it is indeed my email address, though I have a few aliases that are a bit more "formal". I am quite the trouble maker. I'm sure you can imagine that my address does not validate on many websites, apparently .info domains aren't valid in most peoples eyes. --mark -- sic transit gloria et adulescentia blog | http://blog.hasno.info/blog wiki | http://wiki.hasno.info
