META-TAB performs
,----
| M-TAB (translated from <escape> <tab>) runs the command complete-symbol
| which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `bindings.el'.
| It is bound to M-TAB.
| (complete-symbol arg)
|
| Perform tags completion on the text around point.
| Completes to the set of names listed in the current tags table.
| The string to complete is chosen in the same way as the default
| for M-. (which see).
|
| With a prefix argument, this command does completion within
| the collection of symbols listed in the index of the manual for the
| language you are using.

but I am getting "complete-tag: No tags table loaded; try M-x
visit-tags-table".
