Especially when they see their self-defined methods pop up in there :-)

and since you bring it up, here is what I sent to Paolo late last night:

libgst/input.c

void
_gst_add_symbol_completion (const char *str,
                            int len)
{
  const char *base = str;
  const char *p = str;

  if (completions_enabled < 1)
    return;

  /* Everything goes in ... what can happen? */
  add_completion (str, len);
}

You'll have to back up into the suggestion though (alt-b comes
in handy).
