It would be great if such an extension would allow arbitrary
completions - not just symbols (variables, types, functions, etc). For
instance if an extension which provided templates/snippets were
available, various language constructs could also be in the list.
Taking a boilerplate-ridden language such as C as an example, for-
loops could be completed with the same action as completing a variable
called "form". I know that Xcode (an IDE on Mac OS) does it this way,
and it's quite nice to use the same completion keystroke. This could
perhaps be implemented through hooks which ask registered extensions
for data to populate the list.
