-;;;
-;;; Introduction
-;;;---------------
-;;;  
-;;;     After you type a few characters, pressing the "complete" key inserts
-;;; the rest of the word you are likely to type.  
-;;;
-;;; This watches all the words that you type and remembers them.  When 
-;;; typing a new word, pressing "complete" (meta-return) "completes" the
-;;; word by inserting the most recently used word that begins with the 
-;;; same characters.  If you press meta-return repeatedly, it cycles
-;;; through all the words it knows about.
-;;;
-;;;  If you like the completion then just continue typing, it is as if you
-;;; entered the text by hand.  If you want the inserted extra characters 
-;;; to go away, type control-w or delete.  More options are described below.
-;;;
-;;;  The guesses are made in the order of the most recently "used".  Typing
-;;; in a word and then typing a separator character (such as a space) "uses" 
-;;; the word.  So does moving a cursor over the word.  If no words are found, 
-;;; it uses an extended version of the dabbrev style completion.
-;;;
-;;;   You automatically save the completions you use to a file between 
-;;; sessions.  
-;;;
-;;;   Completion enables programmers to enter longer, more descriptive 
-;;; variable names while typing fewer keystrokes than they normally would.
-;;;
-;;;
-;;; Full documentation
-;;;---------------------
-;;;
-;;;   A "word" is any string containing characters with either word or symbol 
-;;; syntax.  [E.G. Any alphanumeric string with hyphens, underscores, etc.]
-;;; Unless you change the constants, you must type at least three characters
-;;; for the word to be recognized.  Only words longer than 6 characters are
-;;; saved.
-;;;
-;;;   When you load this file, completion will be on.  I suggest you use the
-;;; compiled version (because it is noticeably faster).
-;;;
-;;;  M-X completion-mode toggles whether or not new words are added to the
-;;; database by changing the value of enable-completion.
-;;;
-;;;  SAVING/LOADING COMPLETIONS
-;;;   Completions are automatically saved from one session to another
-;;; (unless save-completions-flag or enable-completion is nil).
-;;; Loading this file (or calling initialize-completions) causes EMACS
-;;; to load a completions database for a saved completions file 
-;;; (default: ~/.completions).  When you exit, EMACS saves a copy of the
-;;; completions that you 
-;;; often use.  When you next start, EMACS loads in the saved completion file.
-;;;
-;;;   The number of completions saved depends loosely on 
-;;; *saved-completions-decay-factor*.  Completions that have never been 
-;;; inserted via "complete" are not saved.  You are encouraged to experiment
-;;; with different functions (see compute-completion-min-num-uses).
-;;;
-;;;   Some completions are permanent and are always saved out.  These 
-;;; completions have their num-uses slot set to T.  Use 
-;;; add-permanent-completion to do this
-;;;
-;;;   Completions are saved only if enable-completion is T.  The number of old
-;;; versions kept of the saved completions file is controlled by 
-;;; completions-file-versions-kept.
-;;;
-;;; COMPLETE KEY OPTIONS
-;;;   The complete function takes a numeric arguments.  
-;;;  control-u :: leave the point at the beginning of the completion rather 
-;;;               than the middle.
-;;;  a number  :: rotate through the possible completions by that amount
-;;;  `-'       :: same as -1 (insert previous completion)
-;;;
-;;; HOW THE DATABASE IS MAINTAINED
-;;;  <write>
-;;;
-;;; UPDATING THE DATABASE MANUALLY
-;;;   m-x kill-completion 
-;;;     kills the completion at point.
-;;;   m-x add-completion
-;;;   m-x add-permanent-completion
-;;;   
-;;; UPDATING THE DATABASE FROM A SOURCE CODE FILE
-;;;   m-x add-completions-from-buffer
-;;;     Parses all the definition names from a C or LISP mode buffer and
-;;;     adds them to the completion database.
-;;;
-;;;   m-x add-completions-from-lisp-file 
-;;;     Parses all the definition names from a C or Lisp mode file and
-;;;     adds them to the completion database.
-;;;
-;;; UPDATING THE DATABASE FROM A TAGS TABLE
-;;;   m-x add-completions-from-tags-table
-;;;     Adds completions from the current tags-table-buffer.
-;;;
-;;; HOW A COMPLETION IS FOUND
-;;;  <write>
-;;;
-;;; STRING CASING
-;;;   Completion is string case independent if case-fold-search has its 
-;;;  normal default of T.  Also when the completion is inserted the case of the
-;;;  entry is coerced appropriately.  
-;;;  [E.G.  APP --> APPROPRIATELY     app --> appropriately  
-;;;         App --> Appropriately]
-;;;
-;;; INITIALIZATION
-;;;  The form `(initialize-completions)' initializes the completion system by 
-;;; trying to load in the user's completions.  After the first cal, further 
-;;; calls have no effect so one should be careful not to put the form in a 
-;;; site's standard site-init file.

-;;; Change Log:

-;;;    Sometime in '84 Brewster implemented a somewhat buggy version for

-;;;    Jan. '85 Jim became enamored of the idea and implemented a faster,

-;;;    With input from many users at TMC, (rose, craig, and gls come to mind),
-;;; the current style of interface was developed. 
-;;;    9/87, Jim and Brewster took terminals home.  Yuck.  After 
-;;; complaining for a while Brewster implemented a subset of the current 
-;;; LISPM version for GNU Emacs.  
-;;;    8/88  After complaining for a while (and with sufficient

-;;; "Symbol" parsing functions
-;;;---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-;;; The functions symbol-before-point, symbol-under-point, etc. quickly return
-;;; an appropriate symbol string.  The strategy is to temporarily change
-;;; the syntax table to enable fast symbol searching.  There are three classes
-;;; of syntax in these "symbol" syntax tables ::
-;;;
-;;; syntax (?_) - "symbol" chars (e.g. alphanumerics)
-;;; syntax (?w) - symbol chars to ignore at end of words (e.g. period).  
-;;; syntax (? ) - everything else
-;;;
-;;; Thus by judicious use of scan-sexps and forward-word, we can get

+;; "Symbol" parsing functions
+;;---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+;; The functions symbol-before-point, symbol-under-point, etc. quickly return
+;; an appropriate symbol string.  The strategy is to temporarily change
+;; the syntax table to enable fast symbol searching.  There are three classes
+;; of syntax in these "symbol" syntax tables ::
+;;
+;; syntax (?_) - "symbol" chars (e.g. alphanumerics)
+;; syntax (?w) - symbol chars to ignore at end of words (e.g. period).  
+;; syntax (? ) - everything else

-;;; Here is the default completion syntax ::
-;;; Symbol chars :: A-Z a-z 0-9 @ / \ * + ~ $ < > %
-;;; Symbol chars to ignore at ends :: _ : . -
-;;; Separator chars. :: <tab> <space> ! ^ & ( ) = ` | { } [ ] ; " ' #
