Hello everyone,
I am trying to implement completion for proto objects. Proto extends
environment in a hierarchical way. Thus completion should list all the
names in all it's parent environments.
For "normal" classes defining names.class would do the job, but completion
for "environment" is hard coded in utils:::specialCompletions by means of
base::ls(). As result defining names.proto does not work.
I tried to make "ls" generic and to do something like:
environment(ls.default) <- asNamespace('utils')
environment(ls) <- asNamespace('utils')
environment(ls.proto) <- asNamespace('utils')
That does not work either.
Is there a way to make utils:::specialCompletions use my "ls" instead of
"base::ls"??
I know Deepayan Sarkar is working now on improving the completion system
(potentially by introducing "completion" generic). That would definitely
solve the problem. But for now, does a quick fix exist?
Thanks a lot,
Vitalie
