#120 Autocompletion
Story: User is starting to write a method invocation,
and types "foo.". He can then select a menu item or
press a keyboard short, and a list of all available
methods to invoke is displayed.
This will involve querying classes on the classpath and
discovering methods by reflection. It optionally
includes incremental parsing/compiling of documents
currently in progress-- this can be more useful, but
is often intrusive to the user (it imposes a frequent
performance hit while editing).

There is limited auto-completion for class names the user
has open. The top-level class names of all open documents
can be auto-completed using Ctrl-Shift-Space.
If the option "Preferences/Display Options/Scan Class Files
For Auto-Completion After Each Compile" is enabled, this
also works for inner classes, but the information is only
updated after a compile.
It nonetheless helps a lot.
Preliminary classes for background parsing and analysis with
a user-configurable delay after the last keypress are in
place too, but commented out.
