It is. I provide ElDoc support currently. Is there a way to avoid
custom work for company-mode, and instead provide a commonly
understandable list of function definitions that works for ElDoc and for
company-mode? ElDoc is pretty simple, it expects me to do all the work
to find the current function and write the mini-docstring for it.
CFEngine's syntax is actually very rigid and predictable. There are
only specific things that can go at every point in the syntax, so it
could use completion not just for function calls. It's a bit like XML
with an enforced schema, and autocompletion could work really well
there. I haven't had the time to explore that direction, there's too
much on my TODO list :) but it seems like Semantic integration would
actually make sense instead of custom code for this. Advice welcome.

OK, sounds good. Thanks.
