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.
