Typing quickly has nothing to do with context based completion of class
variables and functions.

I'm intrigued to hear what you think any of that has to do with CEDET
completion? C++ classes are frequently massive and complex and trying to
code or maintain any form of large library based code base without this
sort of semantic help/completion borders on crazy these days.
