occur there where more people can contribute and so they will get archived]

   Whether the default should be cancelling by deleting to the dot or
deleting the dot is a bit of a personal preference thing. There is a
difference here between invoking it for a dot and invoking it because the
user has started typing an identifier and asked for a list. My thinking is
that you have removed all of the characters that you put into the identifier
and so the annoying box should disappear. There should probably be another
preference setting to define this.

   These are not described in the main documentation:
http://www.scintilla.org/ScintillaDoc.html
   although there are brief comments in the
scintilla/include/scintilla.iface file which is the definition of the
Scintilla API.

# Define a set of character that when typed fills up the selected word.
set void AutoCSetFillUps=2112(, string characterSet)

# Should a single item auto-completion list automatically choose the item.
set void AutoCSetChooseSingle=2113(bool chooseSingle,)

   Maybe we need a dumber Mark ;)
