### Original description

**What change would like to see?**
I would like to see a code completion in the IDE like other IDE Editors have. Especially it would be nice, when this feature could interact with the #include keyword.

**Why?**
Because of simpler programming.

**Would this cause any incompatibilities with previous versions? If so, how**
**can these be mitigated?**
I thing, there will be no incompatibilities.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked Google Code Issue 849 and the Arduino IDE 1.x codebase, focusing on the IDE's editing and #include behavior. Define completion behavior and its interaction with included code, then verify that the IDE provides useful code completion without incompatibilities.
