Not really. Adding a new function might make the code invalid (say, if
it has the same name and the types of arguments as an existing one), or
make it behave in a different way.

Those are the same packages that offer C completion. Thank the magical
LLVM sprinkles.

Although it seems I haven't mentioned any specific ones here, after all,
only all of them in general.

Here are the bigger ones:

https://github.com/Golevka/emacs-clang-complete-async/

And there's also company-clang in
http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/company.html, which I'm personally insulted
you've ignored.

It's much simpler, but it also has its users. Unlike those above, it has
no persistent server, but it additionally offers Objective-C support.
