It's kind of nice actually, and now I want it in every language I'm  
working in !! (some already in progress)

Cheers, didn't know about that one. Will try to do so then.  I'm also  
playing with the idea of loading smaller subsets of the array based  
on the first letter of the (completed) word. So in the case of  
completions of array*  we would load the A file (with only functions  
starting with A) which is 36Kb rather than 1.1Mb. Should speed things  
up as well.

Mostly concerned about G4 laptops, so I'd be very interested in users  
with them. (got iMac G5 myself)

Yes, this together with some other functions in the "development  
lab", full PHP-Smarty support and more should make developing in PHP  
much better and faster.



Kind regards,
