This looks good to me. I'll merge it together with the snippets branch into my "merge-dev-fixes" branch and dogfood it for a day or two.
There are a couple of other things that could be improved in the original but they are not related to this issue so I'll submit separate PRs for those.

One issue I noticed that this PR introduces is that in some cases a prefix matches both a word and the same word followed by a space.
On a blank line type a (new) word
On the next line type the same word followed by a space
On the next line start typing the same word again - the completion shows two entries that are visually the same but one contains an extra space

Just pushed changes that should address this problem, @jeremypw . Thank you for the instructions to reproduce it. |

I can confirm that the above issue with spaces is fixed. I'll dogfood for a day or two to see if anything else arises. |

I would not consider hyphen and underscore as delimiters (see my separate PR on this issue). If you agree, could you change it here?
|
@igordsm I'd like to merge this as soon as possible - are you able to address the underscore/hyphen issue? |
Fixes #1147
This makes word completion work with Snippets from #1113 . It's an extensive rewrite of the plugin, so there are probably lots of possible improvements. I've been using it without much problem in the last hours, so I'm sending for review.
