[news.eclipse.technology.dltk] Re: type hierarchy and code completion

["Chuck Doucette" <cdoucette@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Although I've determined a way to get access to the AST nodes, and they may 
contain the information I need to do the completion for global and in-module 
declarations, I still want to
hear about:

a)    Is the internal model intended to be extended (or not because it is 
internal)?

b)    How does one make use of declarations from another module, i.e. Java 
import?
        I know this may be related to the use of "mixin" somehow - but I 
have no idea if/how to use "mixin" classes.
