Instead we could create an API which allows TextMate to call external libraries, think libclang, to get autocompletion and the syntax highlight. This would allow for a accurate autocompletion based on the current symbol. This would be implemented as a plugin for TextMate using a common API making it possible to add this for any language.

While I guess internal changes would would be necessary to support a variety of parsers, I don't think increased autocompletion accuracy requires a new API, or am I mistaken? I think a bundle command could could just take the entire file contents plus the caret position as input for a script. Script could parse the source code by itself, then return some suggestions (using Dialog2).

Related: What bundles currently make use of Dialog2? I'd like to see it in action for myself.
