When you create a method which takes an argument in a dynamic language, there's no declaration of the type of that argument or which methods it will be known to support. So how does dot-completion work for any target other than "this"? The REPL isn't doing whole-program dataflow analysis to infer the only type(s) which could possibly be passed, is it?


FYI, PyTools for Visual Studio does dataflow analysis for intellisense.
