Custom auto-complete with UltiSnips in vim

I would like to create snippets that do a custom completion at each tab stop using Vim's complete() function. Here's a simple example of what i want to achieve.

snippet date "Date snippet"
   day of month: ${1:`!v complete(col('.'), [1, 2, 3, 4])`}
   month: ${2:`!v complete(col('.'), ['Jan', 'Feb', 'March'])`}
   year: ${3:`!v complete(col('.'), ['2012', '2013', '2014', '2015'])`}
endsnippet

At the first tab stop i want to see Vim's auto-complete menu with [1, 2, 3, 4] items. Similarly for other tab stops. But, when i actually run this snippet I get the following output

day of month: Jan0an0
month: 201200120
year:100

There might be other ways to achieve auto-complete as shown in screen cast Episode 4: Python Interpolation. But, I would love to see Vim's auto-complete inside UltiSnips.

Please anyone suggest on how to achieve this.

Unfortunately, due to Vim's design, this is not achievable in vanilla Vim+UltiSnips today. It might be doable once neovim fixes interaction issues.
