Hmm.  I tried enabling this and it doesn't work like I'd expect - typing
( m v b space doesn't get you anything.  (Only RET and ')' seem to make
it complete anything).

Well, I'll reserve judgement until you're done with it.  Right now I
find I prefer the old behavior, but then, I wrote the old behavior.  :)

It it's still bugging me after you're done I'll find a way to hack the
old UI back in as an option.
