Maybe we need to disable it in defs since it'll never work.
Then I'd want it to revert to the dumb codeCompletion one I wrote.
But I wouldn't want to confuse people into thinking they're the same  
command.

Maybe I should extend mine to have the first item be the name of the  
command or some other information instead of an actual completion.

Has anybody done any work on making a custom nib for completion yet?
I dying to get some functionality like CSSEdit and Xcode. Their  
autocompletion makes ours look pathetic.
