It is good to get documentation within your editor. There were two  
issues I think. One is the conflation of autocompletion and accessing  
documentation. Since Thomas Aylott is addressing autocompletion, let  
me make a remark about documentation. I don't think that it is useful  
to have documentation inserted into the document that you are working  
on. Far better to have a command that will open the documentation in  
a separate window. It is easy to pipe man pages into an html window  
(and you can take advantage of the built in CSS to boot). So I must  
agree that it would be better if the documentation for the C library  
followed the model provided by control-H in other bundles.

All the best, Mark
