AW: [plt-scheme] word completion for module based languages

Hello,
some time ago I opened this thread and could fix part of my problems thanks
you to all the replies. 

Since then I looked at line 2811 of framework/text.ss which Robby mentioned
in the mail below, because autocompletion does only seem to work for
something like scheme/base. I tested that Robby is right in that the list
which is prepared for the completions holds actually every word that appears
in any of the manual's indicies. But on the way before it is shown something
happens to the content so that a lot of it doesn't show up. I wasn't able to
find where this happens. But perhaps this is helpful to somebody who knows
better than me to fix it.

Robert

I see, I didn't make indicies in my manual what should fix my problem. Thank
you. Robert

Ah. Well, from what I can tell, the autocompletion code should be completing
every word that appears in any of the manual's indicies.

Matthew: does that look right to you? (line 2811 of framework/text.ss)

I see that there is a bug with completions that they aren't picking up the
characters before the insertion point to being the completion. I'll look
into that.
