I am not sure what Dan is refering to, to this might be OT. FWIW,
Vim 7 introduced a "smart completion" system called omni-completion. I
have never tried it, but I read on it and I just looked some
screenshot on the web (search for "vim omnicompletion" in the image
section of your search engine).
It seems to work both in text-based and graphic modes, by using text
overlay to prompt user with a list.
