It’s explained in this blog post: http://blog.macromates.com/2012/clever-completion/

I know Elia linked to a bundle that redefines the completion command but one can also set characterClass for meta.punctuation. This however will also affect word movement/selection. I’m considering introducing two word definitions (one for completion, another for movement/selection), though even for movement/selection, half the time, the new larger units is not really desired.
