[Rd] [ESS] completion in [] (R internal completion fails)

[Vitalie Spinu]

Hello, 

I am forwarding this from ESS mailing list, as it's a failure of
internal R completion system:

This fails:

utils:::.assignLinebuffer('iris[iris$Spec')
utils:::.assignEnd(15)
utils:::.guessTokenFromLine()
utils:::.completeToken()
utils:::.retrieveCompletions() ## -> [1] "iris[iris$Spec"

This works

utils:::.assignLinebuffer('iris[ iris$Spec')  # note the space after [
utils:::.assignEnd(15)
utils:::.guessTokenFromLine()
utils:::.completeToken()
utils:::.retrieveCompletions() ## -> [1] "iris$Species"

Best, 
Vitalie.
