Please consider adding snippets to word completions so that when I want <b>lambda</b> acted on as a snippet, I would be able to type <b>lam</b>, choose from the possible completions, and then if I chose <b>lambda</b> from the list with the <b>tab</b> character, the snippet would be completed to get <b>𝝺</b>
Thanks for your consideration of this matter.

looked for this quite some time at mailing lists, finally found that someone reported that this doesn't work :D
Well, its probably hard to find anything about it because its not intended to work, so its not documented anywhere.
As the `enhancement` label shows, somebody could provide a pull request to implement it, but I suspect that there needs to be a discussion of how snippet autocomplete and word autocomplete would interact and how to distinguish snippets from words in the autocomplete menu before they implemented anything.
I from user view would execpt some special icon on left (e.g. `[S]` for snippet) that I know ok this is gonna insert said snippet. and typing e.g. `forea`, selecting `foreach` it inserts e.g. `for item : stuff` :D.
Don't know about any of geanys code structure.
