I have my '[' key bound to `insert-parentheses' so that any open-paren I type gets a symmetric closing paren inserted. Consider what happens now when I type, say,

[ user-home TAB

I turned the slime-complete-symbol*-fancy off by default. To turn it back on just use e.g. `M-x customize-group slime-mode'.

I find it trips me up too much and there's no obvious Right way for it to work. Another example is functions where the arguments are optional: should a closing paren be inserted? Since I type a lot faster than I think the unpredictability slows me down a bit.

Is there a way to satisfy both use cases without adding another configuration variable?

Open question!
