Description

### Please describe your feature request

Hi @klmr , I hope you don't mind us using the "feature request" to announce a new `box`-support package.

`{box.lsp}` was just [published](https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/box.lsp/) on CRAN.

It does not yet have full support of box module auto-completion. The `pkg$function()` and `module$function()` patterns are just too difficult to pull off using external parser hooks. Check the Github [repo](https://github.com/Appsilon/box.lsp) for what works and what doesn't.

Research direction

Start with the linked box.lsp repository and review its documentation of what currently works and does not work. Investigate how support for the pkg$function() and module$function() auto-completion patterns is handled, and define done as adding the missing support without relying on unspecified parser hooks.
