Thanks. I've also added a feature that adds the * or the + when 
ENTER is hit while in DDOC, but i did it this afternoon so it's 
not shown in the video.

Completion relies on DCD. The current behavior is that you can 
get completion before the error but not after. I've heard of this 
incremental parsing in Mono-D semantic engine but haven't use it 
since 2013 so i can't compare either.
