It's kind of hard to tell exactly from your post, but my guess from reading your message: "It extends emacs completion in various handy ways". However, it also sounds like there are a bunch of other unrelated features, e.g., "Multi-commands" (what does this have to do with completion?). [If these really are unrelated to main purpose, why are they part of the same package?] -Miles -- (\(\ (^.^) (")") *This is the cute bunny virus, please copy this into your sig so it can spread.
