zsh-ycm hybrid.. could it be?

[iago-lito]

YouCompleteMe is an awesome and snappy completion plugin for Vim, whose sophisticated fuzzy search algorithm always pulls on top of the stack the word you were looking for in a few keystrokes.

I have no idea how much this ranking algorithm is dependent on Vim environment, but 1) I guess it could be quite independent and 2) my hands are now trying to use it all the time even if not available in zsh.

I think this is enough for a feature request: how difficult would it be to take ideas from YCM ranking algorithm into zsh autocompletion engine?

killer features to me:

• matches substrings: matchthatname with tchat
• matches collapsed words: camelCase with cc, python_style with ps, etc.
• somehow involves context

I suggest you discuss this on zsh mailing lists, this is not the goal of this project.
