;;; Commentary:

;; This defines `symbol-complete', which is a generalization of the
;; old `lisp-complete-symbol'.  It provides the following hooks to
;; allow major modes to set up completion appropriate for the mode:
;; `symbol-completion-symbol-function',
;; `symbol-completion-completions-function',
;; `symbol-completion-predicate-function',
;; `symbol-completion-transform-function'.  Typically it is only
;; necessary for a mode to set
;; `symbol-completion-completions-function' locally and to bind
;; `symbol-complete' appropriately.

;; It's unfortunate that there doesn't seem to be a good way of
;; combining this with `complete-symbol'.

;; There is also `symbol-completion-try-complete', for use with
;; Hippie-exp.

The value it returns should be a string (or nil).
Major modes may set this locally if the default isn't appropriate.

Beware: the length of the string STR returned need to be equal to the length
of text before point that's subject to completion.  Typically, this amounts
to saying that STR is equal to
\(buffer-substring (- (point) (length STR)) (point)).")

(defvar symbol-completion-completions-function nil
  "Function to return possible symbol completions.
It takes an argument which is the string to be completed and
returns a value suitable for the second argument of
`try-completion'.  This value need not use the argument, i.e. it
may be all possible completions, such as `obarray' in the case of
Emacs Lisp.

Major modes may set this locally to allow them to support
`symbol-complete'.  See also `symbol-completion-symbol-function',
`symbol-completion-predicate-function' and
`symbol-completion-transform-function'.")

(defvar symbol-completion-predicate-function nil
  "If non-nil, function to return a predicate for selecting symbol completions.
The function gets two args, the positions of the beginning and
end of the symbol to be completed.

Major modes may set this locally if the default isn't
appropriate.  This is a function returning a predicate so that
the predicate can be context-dependent, e.g. to select only
function names if point is at a function call position.  The
function's args may be useful for determining the context.")

(defvar symbol-completion-transform-function nil
  "If non-nil, function to transform symbols in the symbol-completion buffer.
E.g., for Lisp, it may annotate the symbol as being a function,
not a variable.

The function takes the symbol name as argument.  If it needs to
annotate this, it should return a value suitable as an element of
the list passed to `display-completion-list'.

The predicate being used for selecting completions (from
`symbol-completion-predicate-function') is available
dynamically-bound as `symbol-completion-predicate' in case the
transform needs it.")

This is done in a way appropriate to the current major mode,
perhaps by interrogating an inferior interpreter.  Compare
`complete-symbol'.
If no characters can be completed, display a list of possible completions.
Repeating the command at that point scrolls the list.

When called from a program, optional arg PREDICATE is a predicate
determining which symbols are considered.

This function requires `symbol-completion-completions-function'
to be set buffer-locally.  Variables `symbol-completion-symbol-function',
`symbol-completion-predicate-function' and
