'Only' quoting: 'Serious visual noise'
'I think there are very real costs.'
First off all, "misuse" of autocomplete can be very annoying. Some autocomplete system autocompletes with you.
IN ORWELLS REALITY: It isn’t doing the quote matching to save on your typing, but to keep the scanner from providing the wrong tokens to the parser of a compiler that is running all the time while you are typing.
So... 'Human Interface' ? ^^
