I think we should use the syntaxcomplete function which allow one to omnicomplete keywords based on a filetype's syntax file. The patch I propose comes from vim's help (:help ft-syntax-omni) and checks if a specific plugin set the completion, if not, then it sets completion based on syntax file. For example, it would allow ebuild developpers to complete "pk" into pkg_postinstall, pkg_preinstall etc using i-CTRL-x_CTRL-o and we don't have to provide a $VIMRUNTIME/ebuildcomplete.vim file.
