My use case when programming in Python: Use functions from python
library, and use the modules in my project. If there was some way to
parse the current document and the whole project, it would help a lot.

For me personally, words completion for programming is most important.
But completing e.g apache conf values when editing the Apache
configuration file, xorg conf values when editing xorg.conf would rock,
too, and be very useful! :)

You're doing brilliant work.
