I don't think it gets any easier. The main problem is the use of "use" here.
A lot of progammers "use" everything and anything and hence an enourmous
amount of identifier become visible. And then the IDE can't choose.

Shure, once you type "Object." the IDE can reduce the choice - but then
"Package." would have been just as easy for the IDE.

So actually more difficult. The IDE must now support "Object." and
"Package."

With Regards

Martin.
