Even though I don't know how to configure Emacs to do it (I'm a 
degenerate Vim user), I've found ctags completion very handy.  I 
currently have my (inferior) editor set up to scan the current buffer, 
other buffers, then tags files when doing completion.  I'm sure (the 
superior) Emacs can do something similar.
