We are thinking about implementing a more generic popup completion
window for gtksourceview (first implemented in gedit) so you would be
able to use that.

I think it would also be nice to add a parser for the snippets. One
problem with implementing it in C might be to properly support python

It's probably a lot of work in C, so enjoy :) Please let us know about
your progress so we can backport any improvements you make on snippets.
