[ESS] auto-complete-mode

[Susumu Tanimura]

Dear Erik,

Thanks the information, and am ashamed of myself that I could not find
the discussion about this issue in the list even a month ago.

I will check ess-R-complete-object-name in essd-r.el. But, since I am
so newbie, I had better wait Erik's work.

Best wishes,
