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.
