[ESS] \delta for julia?

[Boylan, Ross]

company-math
=============
I installed company-math into emacs 24 (from the default repo, not git) and, following the help page, added 
(add-to-list 'company-backends 'company-math-symbols-unicode) 
to my emacs file.

I get the error
Symbol's value as variable is void: company-backends

and no completion behavior.  Maybe .emacs is running before packages are loaded?

package-list shows the  package (and company and math-symbols) to be installed, though there were a bunch of complaints about company during the installation (mostly about being unable to run tests).

This is the first time I've knowingly used the package machinery.

I'm not in a graphical environment. though I am in UTF-8 one, and can see greek letters as produced by the Distributions package.

unicode-math-input
==============
I cloned the repository and did package-install-file giving it the unicode-math-input.el as the argument.
The echo area shows
Search failed: ";;; unicode-math-input.el ends here"
The "ends here" text is  not in the .el file.

raw emacs
========
C-x 8 or Q-q provide another route, at least for \delta if not \delta_0

Fixed.


In order for the company-math completion to work you need to add it before other
back-ends. Otherwise symbols after the starting "\" will trigger those other
backends, company-ess-julia-objects being one of them.
