27 ;; This defines `symbol-complete', which is a generalization of the
28 ;; old `lisp-complete-symbol'. It provides the following hooks to
29 ;; allow major modes to set up completion appropriate for the mode:
30 ;; `symbol-completion-symbol-function',
31 ;; `symbol-completion-completions-function',
32 ;; `symbol-completion-predicate-function',
33 ;; `symbol-completion-transform-function'. Typically it is only
34 ;; necessary for a mode to set
35 ;; `symbol-completion-completions-function' locally and to bind
36 ;; `symbol-complete' appropriately.
38 ;; It's unfortunate that there doesn't seem to be a good way of
39 ;; combining this with `complete-symbol'.
41 ;; There is also `symbol-completion-try-complete', for use with
46 ;;;; Mode-dependent symbol completion.
