I've thought about it every so often, if only to discard the amount of junk code that's probably only relevant to Emacs 18.59, but I know I'll break every single part of it somehow if I do any sort of rewrite. After all, it took me several months to hammer out all the bugs I (re)introduced when I rewrote the completion code, and I'm still not 100% sure it's right, AND it's gotten to the point where I'm no longer sure I understand it (which was the reason I redid it in the first place). Why not write a hook into bbdb instead of depending on it? If BBDB exists, it gets used by ecomplete, if not, no damage. Cheers, Waider. -- waider@waider.ie / Yes, it /is/ very personal of me.
