Well, it won't be easy. It doesn't help that I've been working long hours at my
day job either. But I'll do my best.

In C & C++ it is not optional to use a semi-colon at the end of a line. The
same goes for Java, C#, and Pascal. The NQC language follows this pattern of
requiring a semi-colon at the end of each line. I don't plan on changing it.

BricxCC already has this feature - at least, a feature that is very much like
what you describe. It's called Code Completion. Try typing playtone then
Ctrl+Space (the hot key is configurable via the Preferences dialog). You should
see a pop-up window with PlayTone listed as the only option. Press Enter to
replace "playtone" with "PlayTone".
Since NQC has a macro definition feature and support for header files and since
you can define your own functions which take parameters it is not such a simple
thing to be able to assume that playtone(523, 10) is supposed to be the built-in
API function called PlayTone. But the Code Completion feature at least gives
you the option of case correcting built-in API constants, functions, and
reserved words.

The latest versions are BricxCC 3.3.7.7 and NQC 3.0.a2. You should definitely
consider upgrading since all versions of NQC prior to 3.0.a2 have a bug in the
Spybot subroutine return code generation.
