Or is there a > generalised capf that does this, I guess? Two possibilities: since you're using cape, use `cape-super-capf' to merge a bunch of cape capf functions into one. Other possibility: use `completion-table-merge' in exactly the same way. This should be the general version of what `cape-super-capf' does. Please try both and report back! I'm very curious, as well.
