/**
* Completion proposal.
* <p>
* In typical usage, the user working in a Java code editor issues
* a code assist command. This command results in a call to
* <code>ICodeAssist.codeComplete(position, completionRequestor)</code>
* passing the current position in the source code. The code assist
* engine analyzes the code in the buffer, determines what kind of
* Java language construct is at that position, and proposes ways
* to complete that construct. These proposals are instances of
* the class <code>CompletionProposal</code>. These proposals,
* perhaps after sorting and filtering, are presented to the user
* to make a choice.
* </p>
* <p>
* The proposal is as follows: insert
* the {@linkplain #getCompletion() completion string} into the
* source file buffer, replacing the characters between
* {@linkplain #getReplaceStart() the start}
* and {@linkplain #getReplaceEnd() end}. The string
* can be arbitrary; for example, it might include not only the
* name of a method but a set of parentheses. Moreover, the source
* range may include source positions before or after the source
* position where <code>ICodeAssist.codeComplete</code> was invoked.
* The rest of the information associated with the proposal is
* to provide context that may help a user to choose from among
* competing proposals.
* </p>
* <p>
* The completion engine creates instances of this class.
* </p>
*
* @see ICodeAssist#codeComplete(int, CompletionRequestor)
