I've noticed in Elixir 1.5 we don't autocomplete functions that have @doc 
false.

For example if I create a module like this

defmodule MyApp.Accounts.User do
  use Ecto.Schema
  import Ecto.Changeset
  alias MyApp.Accounts.User


  schema "users" do
    field :age, :integer
    field :name, :string

    timestamps()
  end

  @doc false
  def changeset(%User{} = user, attrs) do
    user
    |> cast(attrs, [:name, :age])
    |> validate_required([:name, :age])
  end
end

And now if I try to use it in iex, I won't get autocompletion suggestion 
for changeset function.

iex(1)> MyApp.Accounts.User.<with pressing TAB, iex doesn't suggest 
changeset>


I believe this behavior is changed since this PR 
https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir/pull/6131

In terms of user experience is a bit unexpected that in the above example I 
have a public function changeset and I can't get suggestion it in IEx. I 
use IEx regularly when I want to check something quickly and it happened to 
me few times so far and I was really confused why I can't get suggestion 
for my public function.


Looking forwards to hear your opinions
