 There are a few Emacs packages that have similar goals to paced, and provided
 some of the inspiration and motivation behind it.
 *** pabbrev
-The [[https://github.com/phillord/pabbrev][pabbrev]] package by Phillip Lord 
scans text of the current buffer while Emacs
-is idle and presents the user with the most common completions.

 One of the major downsides to pabbrev is that the data it collects doesn't
 persist between Emacs sessions.  For a few files that are always open, such as
-org agenda files, pabbrev works great.  For files that aren't always open, like
-prose or source files, you've got to retrain pabbrev every time you restart
-Emacs.

-The benefit of pabbrev dies down if the suggested word isn't the one you need.
-Then you've still got to search through a list of suggestions, which takes away
-from typing.

-That's not to say that pabbrev is all bad.  It keeps up-to-date usage and 
prefix
-hashes of all buffers of the same mode, and scanning, or "scavenging", blends
-seamlessly into the background.  Completion is just a hash table lookup, so it
-can handle completion in microseconds.

 *** predictive

Cubitt scans text of the current buffer on user
 command.  The usage data is stored in a dictionary, which can then be saved to
