You are welcome. Please note that this is only a start, and could be 
improved a lot.

I does not: The list of candidates for commands defined by modules is only 
filled from the LyX generated preamble. In principle this could be extended 
to the whole preamble, but then you would need an exact comparison of the 
defined commands (not a string comparison, but a comparison of the parsed 
tokens, ignoring comments). Otherwise the chance of false matches would be 
too high.

As I wrote in the other message I think that meta-comments are great if they 
are used as hints, but if they are really parsed it gets too unreliable in 
my experience.
