[plt-scheme] word completion for module based languages

[ Matthew? Greg? A debugger question below. ]

Is your language augmenting the capability-value method? Perhaps you
need something like this:

      (define/augment (capability-value key)
        (cond
          [(eq? key 'drscheme:autocomplete-words)
           (drscheme:language-configuration:get-all-manual-keywords)]
          [else (drscheme:language:get-capability-default key)]))

You might want to check over the docs for

  drscheme:language:register-capability

to see if there are other capabilities you want to enable.

For the debugger, it looks like you want to both respond with #t to
the 'gui-debugger:debug-button capability (add to the above method),
and define the debugger:supported? method, which should also return
#t. I'm just inferring that from the source, tho, so Matthew or Greg
may know better.
