Description
I often find that S3 methods can clutter the completions list, and think it would be helpful to be able to hide S3 methods in most cases.
For example, given a completion token, pri, completions look like:
With all of the print.* methods listed, it's hard to find any non-print functions.
Instead, it would be nice if these methods were hidden until a root of the token is an S3 generic. With the token pri, it could produce:
Methods are then included in the completions list once the . is added to denote a dispatch type. Once the . in print. is written, methods are included:
I implemented this behavior in a branch on my fork (though it's not exposed as an option right now), and would be happy to contribute it if you think it fits the project.

Research direction
Start by comparing the current completion behavior with the implementation in the dgkf-hide-s3-method-completions branch. Expose the behavior as an option, keeping S3 methods hidden for ordinary tokens and including them after an S3 generic root such as print. is entered. Verify both completion cases before considering the work done.
