the actual call to the parser; redefinable for JS-like languages
which may have more than a single method/function to parse

 completeGlobalVariables

First, globals starting with typed prefix

 completeLocalVariables

Make those starting with typed prefix first in the list.

 completeMessage

Now, have to translate selectors from Smalltalk to JavaScript form

 completeVariable

 classOfNode: aNode

when showing possible completions for a message,
it is a good idea to know what the reveiver is.
This method tries to ficure out what class the node might have
(mostly heuristics)

 editorToCompleteNode: node in: codeView fromSelectionIn: variables

private helper: return an editAction to replace
the word before the cursor by the selected variable from variables.
variables being a list of suggested completions.
