I've got the following little patch that makes semantic.cache files invisible to the completion system in Emacs. Any thoughts?

IMO it is not a good idea that Semantic silently changes the value of `completion-ignored-extensions' which is a user's customizable option. I would prefer to add something in the manual and/or the doc string of `semanticdb-default-file-name' to explain that it is possible to make .cache files invisible to completion by customizing `completion-ignored-extensions'.

[ ... ] Sounds reasonable. The goal is to augment the default value, not a customized value. Many folks don't like having these files dribbled about their directories. I, personally, only mind because of the completion issues. Eric -- Eric Ludlam: za...@gn..., er...@si...
