This has promise! The first thing that crossed my mind is writing a
"try-jde-complete-at-point" function with the obvious functionality. I
looked in the hippie-exp.el for instructions on doing this and it
looked a little more complicated then I expected. This looks useful
enough that I'm determined to do it, unless someone already has, that
is. Anyone? Thanks!
