Since we are talking about completion, there is only one word to be completed "toLowerCase". That it can have different arguments doesn't matter for inserting "toLowerCase". You could have a function name ten times and need to type CTRL-N ten times to get to another word. I suggest you put alternate function arguments together with one word. Thus "toLowerCase" would have a menu item and info that shows both possible forms of arguments. -- hundred-and-one symptoms of being an internet addict: 229.
