Author: Tassilo Horn <address@hidden>
Commit: Tassilo Horn <address@hidden>

    Add completion-at-point support
    
    * doc/auctex.texi (Completion): Document completion-at-point support.
    * doc/changes.texi: Mention completion-at-point support.
    * tex.el (TeX--completion-at-point): New function.
    (VirTeX-common-initialization): Add TeX--completion-at-point to
    completion-at-point-functions in TeX buffers if that's bound.

+became the new standard completion facility (see below).  Users of the
+wonderful ispell mode know and love the @code{ispell-complete-word}

address@hidden command, by default bound to
address@hidden@key{TAB}} which is equivalent to @kbd{M-C-i}.  Using
address@hidden makes it easier to type and remember the

 In order to use @code{TeX-complete-symbol}, you should write a backslash
 and the start of the macro.  Typing @address@hidden will now complete
 as much of the macro, as it unambiguously can.  For example, if you type
 address@hidden' and then @address@hidden, it will expand to
address@hidden'.

address@hidden@{}, then @code{TeX-complete-symbol} will complete @LaTeX{}
+environments, etc.  This is controlled by @code{TeX-complete-list}.

+More recent Emacs versions have a new completion mechanism.  Modes may
+define and register custom completion-at-point functions and when the

address@hidden@key{TAB}}), all such registered functions are consulted for
+checking for possible completions.  Modern completion UIs like
