Speculation,

What if we iterated all words in text and test to see if they are 
"contained" elsewhere. If they are contained in multiple tiddlers we could 
optional create a tiddler of a word such that we provide a link to its use 
throughout the wiki, then the following may also be possible;

What if when we were typing in the editor, and words of > 3 characters were 
always looked up in tiddler titles and we could select a tiddler containing 
the word to autocomplete and insert a link to that word (tiddler) OR 
transclude OR insert content of the tiddler containing that word. If the 
word is but one in the title then we could select the whole title to insert 
phrases we wish to reuse.

This could help insert macro syntax, or write variations of a proposal, or 
allow us to insert module of content directly at edit time or much more. In 
a way it would be like putting a command line into an editor.

The above could all be done with a special "preemptive text - editor" to 
keep its impact simple.

Regards
Tony
