I think we should separate these two features more clearly because they are two different kinds of helpers. The question for me is, how. You know, English isn't my mother tongue and right now I have no idea how to improve it by keeping its meaning. Any ideas?
I think autocompletion is when the editor suggests matches for a partial word, and construct completion is used for completing things like if, for, etc. But now that construct completion is configurable, it is different as the trigger word is replaced rather than expanded. So perhaps we should use a new term for configurable completion - now it's not necessarily completing anything.
