Minimum character to trigger the completion about completor.vim HOT 3 OPEN

I added a option to specify minimum characters:

let g:completor_min_chars = 2

from completor.vim.

The trick to make the performance better is by being smart about caching instead of using min chars or changing the omni trigger patterns.

I have implemented this trick for asyncomplete at prabirshrestha/asyncomplete.vim#3 and nvim-completion-manage also uses similar trick. It is based on my observation of how VsCode provides autocomplete. Currently asyncomplete is implemented in pure vimscript (which is supposed to be a slow at runtime) and doesn't have min_chars yet it doesn't feel slow at all. The algorithm is described in details at roxma/nvim-completion-manager#30 (comment) if you are interested in implementation for completor.vim.

I can get this work if I modified my omni trigger from

let g:completor_php_omni_trigger = '([$\w]+|use\s*|->[$\w]*|::[$\w]*|implements\s*|extends\s*|class\s+[$\w]+|new\s*)$'

to

let g:completor_php_omni_trigger = '([$\w]{2,}|use\s*|->[$\w]*|::[$\w]*|implements\s*|extends\s*|class\s+[$\w]+|new\s*)$

You can see I changed my regexp counter from + to {2,}, that means it only trigger completor.vim to complete the word more than two characters.

I know it is not a general solution, but it works for me at this moment.
