Feature completion recognises characters. Why not recognise types as well?
For example, to complete an assignment statement requires a typed
expression, whereas to complete an instruction requires a command. So,
the feature list can be filtered.
For example, in the body of a BOOLAEN function in class C,
Result := | -- when the cursor is here, only BOOLEAN functions and
-- attributes of C are possible
|-- When the cursor is here, only commands and reference attributes
-- of C are possible
The '|' represents the keyboard cursor location.
