A month or so ago, I hacked together something for "intellisense"-type
completion based on company-mode, a similar auto-complete Emacs package. It
worked relatively well, and as soon as it is polished, I'll post it here. The
way I went about it is to use the same completion mechanism that ESS uses, which
you might look into in your case, too. You can see how it is done in the ESS
file essd-r.el, function ess-R-complete-object-name.
Also, see this recent thread on ESS-help,

I have not yet investigated the Icicles approach described in the thread above,
but it looks very interesting, and is a TODO ...
Best,
Erik
