Description

Currently autocomplete will suggest macros defined in or from packages used \input-ed and \include-ed files unless they are in TeX root directories (i.e. specified by neither an absolute or relative path). Adding support for TeX roots is a natural improvement.

Research direction

Start by tracing the existing autocomplete handling for macros from \input-ed and \include-ed files, then compare how it resolves relative, absolute, and TeX-root paths. Done means macros from packages or files in TeX root directories are suggested consistently with the currently supported paths; the issue names no files or tests to run.
