In general, the name completion could become smarter over time.
E.g. someone just started to create a method like this:
public SomeType create| // | is cursor position.
It would be nice if Idea suggested "createSomeType" in this case.
Probably, it would require the recognition of specific verbs, such as
"create", "delete", "remove", "add", etc. This is not very complicated, I
think. These verbs could be stored somewhere in configuration file (ordered by
preference) so anyone could add more verbs.
This could also be functional in "extract method". E.g. when an expression
new SomeType(...)
is extracted as a method, the suggested name could be "createSomeType".
Probably, there could be a distinction between "creational" and other methods.
