If you put the cursor right after Stdout, you get the autocompletion. 
But I understand what you say, you want ctrl+shift+o (organize imports). 
I need to add some hooks into the port of the compiler so when a "symbol 
undefined" is reported, show a popup suggesting an import.

Aww... so many features I'd like to add. I wish more people would join 
the project. Many people say "thanks to all the developers involved in 
this project", and it's really just me, Robert Fraser, Bruno Medeiros, 
Frank Benoit helped a little in the beginning, and I can't remember if 
someone else helped... Of course, its testing, its usage, comments and 
suggestions by part of the community helped a lot also, but if more 
people would join the project, it would be much more powerful than now...
