Would have to be an option, currently autocomplete is deliberately only applicable in code, and since this is the only request clearly the current situation is acceptable to many.
I guess its that way because it is annoying in comments when plain words pop up autocomplete boxes, but I can see that it might be useful in doc comments that contain pieces of code.
BTW you are aware that you can manually trigger autocomplete in comments (default binding ctrl+space)? It is just not automatic.
