Yes. We said, when the feature is implemented eventually, then with an
option to disable it. And we both would do that.

There are more problems, because Lazarus' code completion is more than
Delphi's class completion.

Maybe better:
When cursor is in an undeclared method implementation:
(*) Add current method to class declaration
( ) Add all undeclared methods to class declaration.
( ) Give an error
It should never add methods cross over for the above reason. It happens
very seldom that you need both and in this rare case you can do:
Ctrl+Shift+C, Ctrl+Shift+Up, Ctrl+Shift+C

And I'm looking forward to the new fpdoc features. :)
