  /**
   * \brief A code-completion string that describes "optional" text that
   * could be a part of the template (but is not required).
   *
   * The Optional chunk is the only kind of chunk that has a code-completion
   * string for its representation, which is accessible via 
   * \c clang_getCompletionChunkCompletionString(). The code-completion string
   * describes an additional part of the template that is completely optional.
   * For example, optional chunks can be used to describe the placeholders for
   * arguments that match up with defaulted function parameters, e.g. given:
   *
   * \code
   * void f(int x, float y = 3.14, double z = 2.71828);
   * \endcode
   *
   * The code-completion string for this function would contain:
   *   - a TypedText chunk for "f".
   *   - a LeftParen chunk for "(".
   *   - a Placeholder chunk for "int x"
   *   - an Optional chunk containing the remaining defaulted arguments, e.g.,
   *       - a Comma chunk for ","
   *       - a Placeholder chunk for "float x"
   *       - an Optional chunk containing the last defaulted argument:
   *           - a Comma chunk for ","
   *           - a Placeholder chunk for "double z"
   *   - a RightParen chunk for ")"
   *
   * There are many ways two handle Optional chunks. Two simple approaches are:
   *   - Completely ignore optional chunks, in which case the template for the
   *     function "f" would only include the first parameter ("int x").
   *   - Fully expand all optional chunks, in which case the template for the
   *     function "f" would have all of the parameters.

/**
 * \brief Perform code completion at a given location in a source file.
 *
 * This function performs code completion at a particular file, line, and
 * column within source code, providing results that suggest potential
 * code snippets based on the context of the completion. The basic model
 * for code completion is that Clang will parse a complete source file,
 * performing syntax checking up to the location where code-completion has
 * been requested. At that point, a special code-completion token is passed
 * to the parser, which recognizes this token and determines, based on the
 * current location in the C/Objective-C/C++ grammar and the state of 
 * semantic analysis, what completions to provide. These completions are
 * returned via a new \c CXCodeCompleteResults structure.
 *
 * Code completion itself is meant to be triggered by the client when the
 * user types punctuation characters or whitespace, at which point the 
 * code-completion location will coincide with the cursor. For example, if \c p
 * is a pointer, code-completion might be triggered after the "-" and then
 * after the ">" in \c p->. When the code-completion location is afer the ">",
 * the completion results will provide, e.g., the members of the struct that
 * "p" points to. The client is responsible for placing the cursor at the
 * beginning of the token currently being typed, then filtering the results
 * based on the contents of the token. For example, when code-completing for
 * the expression \c p->get, the client should provide the location just after
 * the ">" (e.g., pointing at the "g") to this code-completion hook. Then, the
 * client can filter the results based on the current token text ("get"), only
 * showing those results that start with "get". The intent of this interface
 * is to separate the relatively high-latency acquisition of code-completion
 * results from the filtering of results on a per-character basis, which must
 * have a lower latency.
 *

 * source file is included in command_line_args.
 *
 * \param num_command_line_args the number of command-line arguments stored in
 * \p command_line_args.
 *
 * \param command_line_args the command-line arguments to pass to the Clang
 * compiler to build the given source file. This should include all of the 
 * necessary include paths, language-dialect switches, precompiled header
 * includes, etc., but should not include any information specific to 
 * code completion.
 *
 * \param num_unsaved_files the number of unsaved file entries in \p
 * unsaved_files.
 *
 * \param unsaved_files the files that have not yet been saved to disk
 * but may be required for code completion, including the contents of
 * those files.
 *
 * \param complete_filename the name of the source file where code completion
 * should be performed. In many cases, this name will be the same as the
 * source filename. However, the completion filename may also be a file 
 * included by the source file, which is required when producing 
 * code-completion results for a header.
 *
 * \param complete_line the line at which code-completion should occur.
 *
 * \param complete_column the column at which code-completion should occur. 
 * Note that the column should point just after the syntactic construct that
 * initiated code completion, and not in the middle of a lexical token.
 *
 * \returns if successful, a new CXCodeCompleteResults structure
 * containing code-completion results, which should eventually be
 * freed with \c clang_disposeCodeCompleteResults(). If code
 * completion fails, returns NULL.
