Intellisense madness

I'm sure this has been brought up before... but having
intellisense list all available accessors in a flat sorted list
is madness! It prevents one from quickly seeing what kind of
accessors a type has if they are not familiar with the type.
Surely it would not be difficult to list the direct accessors of
a type at the top of the list? Or, at the very list, list any
generic accessors in their own group.
If the coding is too difficult a simple resolution is this:
Take the generic accessors that work on any type and put them at
the bottom of the list(or color them red or something). This can
be done easily by just getting the intellisense results off an
empty type such as Object behind the scenes once and then
matching them against the type being accessed at hand. Since D
has many built in generic accessors, it bloats the list with junk
that I don't need to see most of the time.
In Visual D, intellisense is nearly useless for me. It obfuscates
rather than helps.
Thanks for investigating this! ;)
