Hi,

As a daily Emacs user, I would like to submit that the above snippet
is keenly important.  I would urge maintainers to run Visual Studio
(C#) and IntelliJ(Java) and experiment with their capabilities....
then beat them in Emacs.

Using SLIME and the Rust completion user interfaces is still a subpar
UI experience compared to IntelliJ or VS.


I would hope that the maintainer would accept the task of beating
proprietary software capabilities head to head (not a simple task!),
instead of simply being excellent. :-)
