This isn't answering Anil's question but I'm curious. I've had access to editors that do this kind of thing since 1988 when I first encountered DECs LSE(Language Sensitive Editor) for the VAX. and in a more limited form C and Lisp modes on emacs. Then it became popular on PC editors in Visual Studio and the Borland tools. But does anyone actually use this feature? I know I don't, in fact I usually turn it off because I find it distracting! I usually know what attributes or methods I need to call, and the parameters that I need to pass often depend on context anyway so the tools often get it wrong. So I'm curious, how many folks actively use these so-called productivity features like intellisense/omnicomplete? BTW I don't mind toopltips - where they tell you the signature of a function but don't fill it in... Its the autocomplete feature I've never found helpful.
