Apologies for not responding earlier. As indicated in a sibling post; yes, I believe most language recognition is done with the old style. Mainly because it is fast and works for the majority of use cases, though, and not because it is required to be that way.

I understand, on principle, why this is not ideal. In practice, I have trouble disagreeing with it. I do find autocomplete nice; though, I have also found that in the instances where I'm having to rely on autocomplete, I'd have been better off using the documentation of whatever I'm doing for a bit to actually have solid grounding before embarking on code.

My point was exactly as the sibling said, that this is by no means all emacs can do.
