Why not just put all the known definitions for the clicked symbol

Not for me... having 100s of items in that menu would drop its
usefulness for me. The answer shouldn't be to throw more information
in our face to sift over but to get us to the information we want
quickly and via a sensible contiguous workflow.
What I would like to see is the auto completion popup or jump-to
symbol popup continue to do what it does now (show a limited set and
provide a more option) but have a way to add an additional filter
dimension to the mix, for example the class that I know provides the
symbol I am looking for.
In other words I start typing in the name of a symbol (or command
double click a symbol), have the symbol selector popup come up but
then I notice that a lot of symbols exist with that naming. I would
love to be able to hit a magic key combination that toggles the popup
to begin filtering the current set of symbols by class/framework as I
type out its name.
