Without looking at the code I've got 2 off the cuff comments based
on the mechanism that we're using in gnumeric that was used as a
precursor to the code in evolution.

1) It would be a big help to keep the match generation mechanism
   distinct from the display widget.  I need to be able to do
   completion in a canvas item.  Have a look in
       gnumeric/src/{complete,complete-sheet}.[ch]
   for details

2) If memory serves, Jon Trowbridge did alot of work to support
   different types of completion for email addresses in evolution.
   I'd like to get his thoughts on this.

Now its off to read the code.
