[Gloucs] Another idea for a talk - was Re: Emacs - find-grep-dired case insensitivity

[Anthony Edward Cooper]

Being an Emacs user myself I think that's a great idea.

Pencil this in for say July unless one of the June speakers can't make 
it (myself + Andy Cater).

Certainly things I have been curious about but never got round to 
investigating is stuff like code autocompletion with prototype hinting 
(like MS-Visual-Studio) :-))... (Cat firmly placed amongst the pigeons!).

Dare I say is there a vim user that could do likewise :-)?

Tony.
