I'm a bit late to the party, but I think completion-UI already provides
hooks for much of what's being discussed (e.g. annotating completions
with additional information, a generic framework for defining new
completion UIs and completion sources...).
I had a discussion a couple of years ago (more?) with RMS about
submitting completion-UI for inclusion in Emacs, which led me to rework
parts of it based on his suggestions. By the end of the discussion, it
was in a state that RMS was happy with.
However, it was in the middle of the version 22 feature freeze, and I
promised to submit it for possible inclusion after the end of the
freeze. There were three reasons I never got around to it: 1) I forgot,
2) I still wasn't quite happy with the code, and 3) I hadn't documented
it (other than docstrings). Since then, I've at least fixed 2) so that
the code is much cleaner and clearer. I still haven't fixed 3).
But maybe it's time I put completion-UI up for inclusion, and if it's
favourably received it might give me the incentive to document it
properly...
If you're interested, the code can be found at
www.dr-qubit.org/emacs.php, and the direct download link is:
