Build ID: All

Steps To Reproduce:
When completing on a class import, JDT remembers previously chosen completions and moves them to the top of the list. For example, typing "List" and hitting complete, JDT knows that I never use java.awt.List, so java.util.List is moved above it.

It would be nice if this worked for completion on method name. For example if I have an Iterator variable called "iter" and I type "iter.has" and hit complete, JDT will offer "hashCode" before "hasNext". Since I choose hasNext far more frequently than hashCode, it should be made the first choice.
