Semantic completion -- "Intellisense", in M$ terms -- is only really nice in
heavily OO languages, so that you can chain several deeply nested method
calls very easily.  I don't think it'd be of much use in a procedural
language like the SDL.

You can however have a simpler textual completion based on names in scope,
like emacs, vim, SciTE, kate, textpad and several other good text editors
offer.  Works faster than "Intellisense" and is nice enough for the simpler
setup of the SDL.  Working with tags even get you the benefit of quickly
reaching the original definition and going back and forth to know the
parameters of functions...
