;;; Commentary:
;;
;; This package provides a generic completion method based on building
;; a balanced decision tree with each candidate being a leaf. To
;; traverse the tree from the root to a desired leaf, typically a
;; sequence of `read-char' can be used.
;;
;; In order for `read-char' to make sense, the tree needs to be
;; visualized appropriately, with a character at each branch node. So
;; this completion method works only for things that you can see on
;; your screen, all at once:
;;
;; * character positions
;; * word or subword start positions
;; * line beginning positions
;; * link positions
;; * window positions
;;
;; If you're familiar with the popular `ace-jump-mode' package, this
;; package does all that and more, without the implementation
;; headache.
