Yes. It's probably more accurate to say that you're getting code
completion. To provide *content* assist -- function definitions and
examples, required vs. optional arguments, etc. -- while typing, the
MooTools documentation needs to be converted to ScriptDoc or
(preferably) OAA metadata format. Unfortunately the documentation is
not available in a format that's conducive to conversion currently;
we're working with the MooTools team on that, and I have hope that
future updates will include content assist as well as code completion.

cheers,
Lori
