i'm not using IDEs for more than a decade (heh, i'm using mcedit to
write code). yet this feature drives me mad: it trashes my terminal
with useless garbage output. it was *never* in help, there were no
moment when i looked at suggested identifier and thinked: "aha, THAT is
the bug!" but virtually each time i see usggestion i'm thinking: "oh,
well, i know. 'cmon, why don't you just shut up?!"

it's like colorizing the output, yet colorizing can be turned off, and
suggestions can't.
