IMO, it's something that should be provided by the editor (or, here, by
AUCTeX), not done by the user. And, in this respect, AUCTeX is much less
handy than e.g. TeXstudio.

At least \hspace and \linewidth are core LaTeX macros.

BTW, a TeXstudio contributor is in the way of providing completion files
for all the classes/packages! Of course, the format of such (`.cwl`)
files is specific to TeXstudio but maybe they could be converted in
completion files for AUCTeX.
