Mumamo can easily > implement that behavior for those few variables. Maybe it would be meaningful for a parser that is supporting completion in the chunk? I don't understand what that means. Would you please be more specific? Anyway, it sounds like something very specialized and very closely related to mumamo. It would be easy enough to add a special feature to do this, if and when it is really wanted. Which means that, for now, we can forget about this.
