Evaluating JSON from popular auto-suggests

User interfaces for C function completion
In method call syntax in many object-oriented languages, the receiver object goes to the left of the method name, e.g. someObject.someMethod(). This comes in handy when using an IDE with code completion/code assist/Intellisense; when the user types a method call expression, the receiver has already been typed, so the IDE can narrow down its method choices to apply to that receiver (at least in statically-typed languages).
