I suppose you could add an option to tell it whether to use the full match
or the groups inside of the match for the auto-complete members, but you
could also just make them add parens around their entire regex and it should
work fine.

(\b\w+\b) (Should result in group 0 and group 1 being the exact same
thing.)

I personally can't think of any syntax where you aren't going to need to
check some sort of context around what you are trying to get added to the
auto-complete list, but I guess it's a possibility. I personally wouldn't
make it an option, but that is up to you.

Also, another thing to note here is that when using captured groups in your
regex, if you need to do a group (maybe for alternation or something) and
you don't want it to be captured, then you need to use "(?:". Here is an
example:

(?:public|private|internal)\s+(\w+)

This will not capture the first part (public|private|internal) of the regex
into a group.
