That kind of auto completion is very easy to do. The problem is when you have references whose creation site you can't trace statically.

To be fair, it's also probably a 90/10 situation. And whether or not it's easy to do, it's somewhat rare to see in the tools that most people use for non-static languages.
Even in Java and C#, arguably the best languages re: deep IDE integration, there are edge cases where the IDE can't know everything (reflection, for instance), but it still does the trick most of the time.
