Completion of tags by name using tables of semantic generated tags.

While it would be a simple matter of flattening all tag known tables to perform completion across them using all-completions, or try-completion, that process would be slow. In particular, when a system database is included in the mix, the potential for a ludicrous number of options becomes apparent.

As such, dynamically searching across tables using a prefix, regular expression, or other feature is needed to help find symbols quickly without resorting to "show me every possible option now".

In addition, some symbol names will appear in multiple locations. If it is important to distinguish, then a way to provide a choice over these locations is important as well.

Beyond brute force offers for completion of plain strings, using the smarts of semantic-analyze to provide reduced lists of symbols, or fancy tabbing to zoom into files to show multiple hits of the same name can be provided.
