This sounds a lot like autocomplete with keyword arguments, and it could
be implemented (conceptually¹) easily using docstrings.
¹: It would still need quite some effort to realize it in an editor.
Example:
(import (ice-9 optargs))
(define* (if #:key this-is-true then else)
"
auto-complete:
#:this-is-true
#:then
#:else
"
(cond (this-is-true
then)
(else
else)))
(if
#:this-is-true #t
#:then 1
#:else 3)
(display (procedure-documentation if))
->
auto-complete:
#:this-is-true
#:then
#:else
Best wishes,
Arne
