function emacsdocomplete(substring)
% Ask for completions of SUBSTRING from MATLAB.
% This is used by Emacs TAB in matlab-shell to provide possible
% completions.  This hides the differences between versions
% for the calls needed to do completions.

% Custom completions for Emacs can be added to MATLAB (*.m) files by:
%   1. In a comment, place the string "SUPPORTS_DASH_COMPLETE"
%   2. Handle the -complete argument which produces completion strings
%      of the form:
%          'CMD_TEXT_TO_REPLACE' --> 'REPLACEMENT_TEXT'
%              'OPTION1'
%              'OPTION2'
%              ...
%      See details in `matlab-shell-completion-list'.
