Wow, this is pretty horrible.
One could do something convoluted and define this.x be a certain class to get prompting with a class property, but private properties, which one should see inside a class, are still invisible to it.
Hey, maybe someone will write a parser to:
- ensure all the non-static methods in a class use the same object name (like thisMy inside MyClass) as the constructor,
- update a setup.m file, in the MyClass section, with a struct thisMy that has all the properties and methods in it, with the properties being the right type (with the type put into a special comment).
Or, MatLab, how about fixing your IDE so it can have types for variables and properties, like every other decent language has?
An easy first step is for the IDE to assume it knows the type of the first parameter of non-static methods, plus that it should include prompting with private property and method names...
