Description

    List<String> list = new ArrayList<>();
    list.stream().forEach(System.out::|);

Currently there is no completion after typing "::", but clicking "ctrl + space" does. One improvement is to add "::" as trigger characters.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Java snippet and compare completion after typing :: with completion invoked by Ctrl+Space. Trace the completion trigger handling for method references; done means suggestions appear automatically after :: without requiring Ctrl+Space.
