Completion candidates feature inner classes and anonymous inner classes about compliment HOT 7 CLOSED

Eclipse CTRL-O shows them for the currently edited file, which is useful. But not useful in the REPL I guess.

Let's say the anonymous classes can be dropped completely, and inner classes will be shown only if $ is present in the prefix. If it is not, and inner classes are available, it will show something like:

java.util.Array
java.util.ArrayDeque
java.util.ArrayDeque$
java.util.ArrayList
java.util.ArrayList$

Seems reasonable?

Seems very reasonable.

Yes, although I wouldn't show inner classes at all unless $ is part of the prefix. Meaning by default people would see:

java.util.Array
java.util.ArrayDeque
java.util.ArrayList

Or perhaps we should not show them at all. I check with Eclipse and Intellij and both don't show them. I don't recall ever using a nested class outside its containing class, so this also seems reasonable to me.

Btw, clojure-complete doesn't show those either.

A lot of Java libraries use inner class, (e.g. XXX.Bulider), hide these candidate all the time is not a good solution for this case.

IntelliJ and Eclipse will show inner class when type something like

XXX.B|
     |-> Builder

It will be better If completion provide inner class in this case:

(XXX$B|
      |-> XXX$Builder

or something like this.
