Subject: Re: Auto-completion editor/IDE

Thanks for the thoughtful replies.

Eivind, I'm curious how vim knows what to complete with. Where does it
get the data?

Tim, thanks for rundown of the issues. I must admit that I didn't think
the impact of the dynamic nature of Ruby causing these problems.

Gabriele, I actually thought of this.  Could there be some way in which
the IDE could be executing the program in memory, but not really
executing it -- just enough so that it can call whatever.methods?  I'm
too new to the Ruby world to know if this type of things is possible.
