+
+;;; Commentary:
+
+;; Completion of structure tags can be done automatically in the
+;; shell, since the list of tags can be determined dynamically through
+;; interaction with IDL.
+
+;; Completion of structure tags in a source buffer is highly ambiguous
+;; since you never know what kind of structure a variable will hold at
+;; runtime. To make this feature useful in source buffers, we need a
+;; special assumption/convention. We will assume that the structure is
+;; defined in the same buffer and directly assigned to the correct
+;; variable. This is mainly useful for applications in which there is one
+;; main structure which contains a large amount of information (and many
+;; tags). For example, many widget applications define a "state" structure
+;; that contains all important data about the application. The different
+;; routines called by the event handler then use this structure. If you
+;; use the same variable name for this structure throughout your
+;; application (a good idea for many reasons), IDLWAVE can support
+;; completion for its tags.
+;;
+;; This file is a completion plugin which implements this kind of
+;; completion. It is also an example which shows how completion plugins
+;; should be programmed.
+;;
+;; New versions of IDLWAVE, documentation, and more information available
+;; from:
+;; http://idlwave.org
+;;
+;; INSTALLATION
+;; ============
+;; Put this file on the emacs load path and load it with the following
+;; line in your .emacs file:
+;;
+;; (add-hook 'idlwave-load-hook
+;; (lambda () (require 'idlw-complete-structtag)))
+;;
+;; DESCRIPTION
+;; ===========
+;; Suppose your IDL program contains something like
+;;
+;; myvar = state.a*
+;;
+;; where the star marks the cursor position. If you now press the
+;; completion key M-TAB, IDLWAVE searches the current file for a
+;; structure definition
+;;
+;; state = {tag1:val1, tag2:val2, ...}
+;;
+;; and offers the tags for completion.
+;;
+;; In the idlwave shell, idlwave sends a "print,tag_names()" for the
+;; variable to idl and determines the current tag list dynamically.
+;;
+;; Notes
+;; -----
+;; - The structure definition assignment "state = {...}" must use the
+;; same variable name as the the completion location "state.*".
+;; - The structure definition must be in the same file.
+;; - The structure definition is searched backwards and then forward
+;; from the current position, until a definition with tags is found.
+;; - The file is parsed again for each new completion variable and location.
+;; - You can force an update of the tag list with the usual command
+;; to update routine info in IDLWAVE: C-c C-i
+
+
+;; Some variables to identify the previously used structure
