I have worked with NetBeans (Java) for a while and I was amazed how well does automatic guessing of the parameters for functions work. Perhaps such functionality could be added to VAX in some form, to improve autocomplete functionality when writing parameter values when calling functions?

In NetBeans when I write an opening brace on the function call, the IDE automatically guesses which variable will I write and automatically adds them. It seems it selects variables based not only on argument types, but also on name similiarity (I am not sure on this, but given NetBeans is GPL, it should be possible to verify this in NetBeans sources if necessary).
