Mine will complete any symbol it knows about, or give you a drop-down
list if there's more than one choice. However, almost any editor will
allow you to code with abbreviations, then expand them to full names
with search and replace. This can be useful for some people who have
total recall in the heat of a programming session, but can't remember
what they were thinking a week later :-)
