Description John Arthorne CLA 2012-01-09 13:09:23 EST
Currently a content assist service must implement a single function called "getKeywords". This is misleading, since it is not just for keywords but for all proposals. Also to me "get" implies a simple accessor function, but this will typically be long running computation. When I first started working on content assist I found this confusing, and I think we should tidy it up while we still can. I suggest we use a function called "computeProposals". We can easily check for a getKeywords function for backwards compatibility.
