Also worth mentioning that many editors use the built-in utils::rcompgen 
framework for code completion.  I don't know if RStudio is one of them, 
and I don't know if it would be feasible to add LaTeX completions to it. 
  (R does have a primitive LaTeX parser in tools::parseLatex, so it's 
not completely infeasible.)
