    Or another preference in the Wod Editor Preferences if it wasn't too
    much trouble
            [Ã] Show non-API WOComponent methods in code assist

    Please don't fix this bug! This actually helps one see which code
    assist items are *really* API bindings which is great. Usually
    reusable components have just 1 or a couple of API bindings .... when
    those are mixed in with 20 methods from a generic WOComponent
    subclass, it causes me to have to actually examine the reusable
    component to see what is really API and what is not which defeats the
    purpose of codesense.

    If the preference to show methods is too much work, then at least
    leave the "=" 'useful bug' in place since they do identify the API
    file entries.

    Thanks, Kieran
