FeatureScript-Automatically fill in variables set by the user in previous code

I don't know how easy this would be, but it would be really helpful if when creating a variable, Onshape saves it. Then, in later operations when that variable is used, instead of having to copy and paste it in or risk misspelling, and throwing and error, there could be a drop down of all variables. Or instead of all, it matches variables based on what is already typed, i.e. autofill
There are 10 types of people in the world. Those who know binary, those who don't and those who didn't expect base 3!

So we can
(a) Declare a variable such as "AppleCounter" and then in our code...
(b) Use this variable in a code module and just type in "applecounter" all lower case. If we've got it right the IDE will then put in the caps so we know we've got it right, if nothing happens then we can go back and find out what we did wrong...
There was no auto complete but there were ways of cheating using enums that would generate a dropdown list of options
Little things like this really make the process more satisfying.
