Make context scanning more robust to unfinished forms

[alexander-yakushev]

This should enable locals completion for those who don't use Paredit, inlcuding rebel-readline (see bhauman/rebel-readline#28).

[didibus]

I came here to suggest such a feature.

I often type unbalanced forms like:

(let [things 20]
 thi  ;; <- This does not get auto-completed

And would love it if the auto-completion could still work.

I'd even be okay with something more stupid, like basic word completion that uses the 20 previous lines or something like that, in the case the form can't be parsed.

My 2c, I like local let completions but the "dumb" word completion should not be part of this library but part of the editor. You risk duplicating things, for instance company-mode for Emacs already does that.

[didibus]

@arichiardi I'm coming specifically form Emacs. At least with Cider, it doesn't seem to fallback to normal text completion.

Do you know if there's a way to set it up? Specifically, so it only falls back to normal text completion when compliment could not complete it?

[arichiardi]

Yep it should be like that, compliment is only one of the completion providers of company-mode

[didibus]

@arichiardi Hum, so you're saying something is messed up with my Emacs settings? Do you know where I should look for trying to root cause this then?

Should be working now as of 0.3.9.
