Your code didn't work on my version of Emacs. Adding (mapcar
'list ...) around completion tables solves the problem.
Please add docstrings to your functions. You have a lot of "trivial"
functions, completely opaque to me because undocumented. Also, avoid
commenting your functions with ";; " when you can put the same text in
a docstring.
I'm not really satisfied by the user interface of your engine. I've
written a quick prototype in xtla-read-moy.el. The archive tree is
really filled in "on demand" : No process is launched untill the user
presses TAB.
Example of use:
(tla--complete-revision)
Ma[TAB] <xtla runs tla archives>
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
<shows me the list of completion previously calculated>
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
<xtla runs tla categories [EMAIL PROTECTED]>
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
<second tab shows me the list of categories>
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
...
It is actually pretty similar to the way read-file-name works : You
get completions for directories, and when you enter the directory, you
get completions for subdirectories.
My code is not yet generic or useable, but I think the idea behind is
really simpler both for the user and for the complexity of the code.
I'd like some opinions before going further.
