[ JDK VERSION : 1.6.0_03 ]

When typing the code to call a method in the editor, it
auto-populates arguments for that method based on what would fit, and
if none exist, it seems to put a default variable name. Sometimes,
the implicit "this" object would fit, but it is not currently used as
a candidate for this auto-populate feature. It would be nice if it
was, even as a lowest priority.
