​AFAICT when you type `\macr` the current code searches backwards to find
the prefix to lookup in the symbols. What adding the backslash to wordchars
does is to include the backslash as part of the symbol prefix, so it is
never found in the symbols since they are stored without the backslash​.

​I havn't looked at the geanylatex plugin, but I don't think it does
anything for autocomplete.​
