ThrawnCA created an issue (geany/geany#4496)

I often find that Geany's autocomplete feature will ignore words from the 
current file and just show applicable symbols, _until_ the user has typed 
enough characters to ensure that none of the symbols match.

This is quite frustrating, especially since Geany doesn't seem capable of 
recognising Java local variables as symbols. When I've just typed a variable 
name, I probably want to use that variable name again on the following line, 
but if the first few characters bear any resemblance to any other symbol, 
anywhere in the project, I instead have an autocomplete list full of unrelated 
terms. And then, when I've almost finished typing the thing out manually, I 
finally get to the point where no symbol could possibly match, and so I get an 
autocomplete offer, when it's no longer helpful.

Words from the current file should be first-class autocomplete citizens.
