Depending on how it's configured, Apex can do code completion (my definition of 
the term, which may be different from yours). AdaGIDE will complete library 
package names, and the names of operations in those packages, and will create a 
skeleton for named parameter association for those operations. Other IDEs will 
have different capabilities.

GNAT 3.15p has gnatstub, which creates body skeletons for packages. It also adds 
a short comment to each operation. Unfortunately, that comment simply repeats 
the operation name, violating the basic rule that comments should not repeat 
what's in the code.
