Unicode completions?

[malmaud]

What do you guys think about having completions like \theta + tab resulting in θ, like the Julia REPL has? I find myself wanting to use more unicode symbols in my own code, but the difficulty of inputting them in Sublime is prohibitive.

For now I've been using the UnicodeMath package, but it would be nice to be in sync with Julia.

One bummer: Sublime 2 has worse support for combining characters than Julia's REPL, so things like \theta + tab + \hat + tab don't work.

I didn't realize the REPL could do that. Neat.

I actually wrote a separate bundle to support this, which makes the snippets from the Julia source. I wrote it as a separate package because I thought it would be useful in other scopes, but I'd be happy to put together a PR if you wanted it in official Julia bundle. (It does, however, have some ugly hacks to avoid case-insensitivity on HFS.)

@anowacki, this is great! I much look forward to giving this bundle a go, and would be delighted to see something along these lines in the official Julia bundle. Best!
