Re: Content Assist (Ctl/Space) Field text description from DDS suggestion

[Kurt Anderson <kurt.anderson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

5.  Content Assist to pick a parameter sometimes doesn't allow constants.  For instance.  I have a parameter that is 3u0.  I have a constant with a value of 1.  When I start typing that constant and hit ctrl-space, it doesn't give me the option to select the constant (not only to finish out the name of the constant, but so I can pick a constant from a group of them that start the same).

If I can tag along here...

4. Show me the names I keyed for parameters in prototypes; even though they
are not required, they are ALLOWED and should be shown.  It gives so much
more information than CHAR(1).
