[slime-devel] Strange scores in slime-fuzzy-completion / feature request.

[Pascal J. Bourguignon]

In a new lisp file type:

(defpackage :slime-fuzzy-misfeature
  (:use :cl))
(in-package :slime-fuzzy-misfeature)

(defun f ()
  (let ((pos 4)
        (siz 2))
    (+ pos siz)))

(defstruct pt h v)

(defun g (p)
  (let ((pos-h (pt-h p))
        (pos-v (pt-v p)))
    (+ )))

C-x C-s C-c C-l

Then move after the + in g, and type po M-TAB  We get these fuzzy
completion choices:

1- pop is bound to a function not a variable, we're completing a
   variable: it should not be proposed at all!

2- pos is not in scope it should not be proposed at all.

In general it looks like shorter symbols are proposed with higher
scores.  Instead, symbols in scope (taking account namespaces) should
have higher scores.
