Caveats (Will be fixed asap)

• No support for main/project file yet
• Launching new nimsuggest for every completion
• Using stdio to communicate with nimsuggest
• Docstring is still missing
• Completion is a bit wonky with plain vim. Works well with YouCompleteMe

Planned features

• Debugger support
• Async autocomplete with deoplete (maybe a seperate plugin)
