Respect iskeyword

[FOSSilizedDaemon]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

In vim default completion system there an option called iskeyword which allows the user to denote what should or should not be treated as part of a word. For example, lets say you are writing in shell-script and want the variable my_fav_var to be treated as a word in the completion system, for this you would append '_' to iskeyword. An example of a proper iskeyword can be seen below, taken from my configuration for Python, C, Common Lisp, and POSIX Shell.

vim.opt.iskeyword:append({',', '_', '@', '.', '-'})

Describe the solution you'd like

Compe does not seem to respect this and thus I find myself having to manually type delimiters to finish completion options. I would like for compe to respect this option to allow me to have similar completion to the default system. This is extremely helpful for languages such as common-lisp and even python.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I am unsure if there any ways to get functionality outside of reverting back to using built-in completion, which I have done but the LSP integration offered by compe is too nice to leave behind.

Additional context

:help iskeyword

But in all seriousness, I find this to an extremely useful system for programming and even just writing in general. I saw another issue asking for dictionary completion support and these are the only two things compe is missing for me.

You can set default_pattern config.

require'compe'.setup {
  default_pattern = [[\k\+]],
}

@hrsh7th I tried adding this to set the pattern based on the file type.

-- Set default_pattern based on the current file type.
if opt_local.filetype:get() == 'python' then
	nvim_compe.setup {
		default_pattern = [[\_\.\@]]
	}
elseif opt_local.filetype:get() == 'sh' then
	nvim_compe.setup {
		default_pattern = [[\_]]
	}
elseif opt_local.filetype:get() == 'lisp' then
	nvim_compe.setup {
		default_pattern = [[\-]]
	}
elseif opt_local.filetype:get() == 'c' or opt_local.filetype:get() == 'cpp' then
	nvim_compe.setup {
		default_pattern = [[\->\.]]
	}
elseif opt_local.filetype:get() == 'lua' then
	nvim_compe.setup {
		default_pattern = [[\_\.\:]]
	}
end

but then compe does not run as I have to have two different setup statements to do this.
