Yes, I know.  Admittedly, it's a poor-man's solution.

On the other hand, it doesn't make it any harder, too.  Anyway, I've
reverted the changes.

How about that: The arguments given to `TeX-add-symbols' and
`LaTeX-add-environments' may also have the form

  '(:pkg-name "foobar" <argspec as before>)

with the meaning that foobar is an advanced macro/env of pkg-name.  Like
with my previous patch, there would be a user option being a list of
packages from which a user also wants to complete the advanced commands.

Then `TeX-complete-symbol', `TeX-insert-macro', and `LaTeX-environment'
would need to be adapted to complete foobar only if

  (1) the user has that advanced-stuff-list-option set to t or to a list
      containing :pkg-name, or

  (2) there are no other completions matching the current user input.

Does that sound reasonable?  (Of course, all other usages of
`TeX-symbol-list' and `LaTeX-environment-list' would need to be checked
and maybe adapted, too.)

Bye,
Tassilo
