Question: anyone using NOCompletion setting?

Hi,

There are two completion modes currently: the standard one and the NOControler setting

the NO option has the idea that it sorts “newly” compiled selectors first, else it is the same.

Is anyone using this setting?

I use it sometimes. IIRC there was a paper that it was objectively better at
finding the "right" thing. Are you thinking of removing it?

I would like to re-implement sorting of results in a more pluggable way… so that e.g.
people can add more sorting ideas.

But doing that in one step seems hard… it would be much easier if we could simplify the system
first.

Removing the Ocompletion (for a while) would make it much easier…

I can live without it for a while, especially if we can plug it back in at
the end!
