Very cool! Thanks!

There is something else a bit weird. This is no overly big issue, I just 
noticed it and thought I might mention it. From time to time the completion 
seems to get stuck a bit in a "wrong mode". Then it only takes the parameters 
of the surrounding function into account for completion and doesn't respect 
type information anymore. Timing seems to play a role. See two examples:

I modified my main() a bit:

int main( int argc, char **argv )
{
  const char* ccc = "sfas";
  long asdf;
  const char* auuu;
  Foo* bar;
  bar->bbb( a
}

First example is, that completion gets stuck:
Suppose I want to write the line "bar->bbb( ccc );". I start at "bar->", 
complete to "bar->bbb", type "( c" and now want it to complete to "ccc". 
However sometimes it does just nothing, "No expansion found". As said above 
it only takes argv and argc into account, and as they don't start with "c" it 
can't expand.

The other example is:
When you are at "bar->bbb( a_" in general it nicly completes argv and auuu, it 
respects the parameter type of bbb() and ignores argc or asdf (wrong type). 
However if you call hippie-expand a bit faster (I have bound it to TAB) 
senator-try-expand-semantic somehow falls back to only give argv and argc, 
and ignores the type (argc is int) ... 

Not sure if this has sometimg to do with it, but looking at Speedbar Analyze 
Mode with cursor at the completion point ( "bar->bbb( c_" or 
"bar->bbb( a_" ), "Local Varables" sometimes shows only argv und argc, and 
sometimes it's not present at all. Also the sections Function, Argument and 
Completions are sometimes missing. Sometimes it completes nevertheless, 
sometimes not. (I always wait a bit for speedbar to update, but it doesn't 
change.)

As said above, this is not mission critical, I just noticed it ...
