What should code completion do in this case? My insertion point is at the underscore (_):

- (void)foo:(id)argument
{
id x = [foo _

It's a serious question.

Yes, code completion where all types are known *could* be nice, but thanks to Objective-C's dynamic typing and the different development techniques that this leads to, I see code completion getting in the way and breaking my flow just as much as it helps. I fully see the utility of code completion in statically-typed languages like C++ and Java.
