I'm glad that others have found the word completion macros to be useful.
Tanaka Tomoyuki has kindly pointed out that the ^K (kompletion) macro
exhibits strange behavior if used immediately after a `(' or `.' 
For example: 
            recordname.fiel^K
                            ^----- completion attempted for word succeeding
                                   a period.

            func_name(argu^K
                          ^------- this time it's after a parenthesis.


The way to fix this problem is to change the ^K macro as follows:

    * The second `b' should be replaced with `2h' (two characters backward).


In other words, the ^K macro would be mapped in its entirety as:

    :map! ^K ^[a.^[bmmi?\<^[2h"zdt.@z^Mywmx`mPbea ^[dwbia^["zdt.x@z
                            ==

(This version also reflects the improvements by L. Quin and S. Mullender.)
