company 0.4 -- extensible inline text completion mechanism

[Nikolaj Schumacher]

Company is a modular completion mechanism.

This version brings a few bug fixes and the following features:


The dabbrev back-end now searches other buffers, but with a
user-specified time-limit.

There is a new dabbrev variant specifically for code.  It searches for
symbols instead of words and skips comments and strings.

Completions from multiple back-ends can now be merged.  For example, it
is possible to combine the candidates from etags (for global symbols),
dabbrev (for local variables) and language-specific keywords.



All this should make company much more suitable for languages not
supported by CEDET, e.g. Python.

As always, the latest version is available at
http://nschum.de/src/emacs/company-mode/

and should also be on ELPA (http://tromey.com/elpa/) soonish.

regards,
Nikolaj Schumacher
