Isn't this too automatical answer? I don't use Emacs and believe I'm not
the only. But it is not the core problem. Why to connect as important
basic (in my opinion) interface feature as command completion (at least)
is with using a special text editor? In Octave, database interfaces and
others command completion is a standard. So what's the reason not to
include it in R?
