Good call.  The list of all possible completions from withing a 
struct/class contains any terminal type that matches (ie - int, char, 
etc) and any type that is a compound type (structs, classes) so it is both.

Basically, if you are completing to an int, it will toss chars, floats, 
etc but keep user types which have fields.

You can see it in semantic/analyze/complete around line 230.
