The best alternative, it seems to me is a message in the echo area or a lighter in the mode line. I am leaning more and more towards the latter, since might make the most mouse-friendly interface that newcomers are likely to appreciate. > and > maybe also "This is probably Perl or Prolog code.

My last proposal used completing-read-multiple, but another idea would be to pop open a filtered down *Packages* buffer, assuming that isn't to confusing of an interface. > I hope this helps, > ~Chad
