JDT definitely has this and Descent has some.

Already (sorta) does this.

Infix matches would be cool, but... where should they be presented in

There is a feature in the Open Type dialog where you can type acronyms, 
i.e. "DQL" and get "DatabaseQueryListener" as a suggestion. Not sure how 
practical/useful this would be to implement in autocomplete.

VS has this & it's a nice feature.
