Provide names of arguments with functions

[Former user]

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 59

I made a small patch to allow adding names to the arguments of a function.
What it does: if you add e.g. abs as a function, it used to write:

abs(

but now it writes:

abs(value) 

and selects the word 'value'. 

Of course it would be necessary to add clear names to the functions, but I
don't understand all of the functions :) so now it just states
'value1;value2;value3'.

I've done some work to allow the TAB key to jump to the different arguments
and select them when you are in a function. But it only works for one
function, as long as you use functions in functions it kinda doesn't work
any more :)
So I'll work on that later maybe, or if someone has an idea how I should do
it proper, let me hear!

The diff is attached of the 'src' directory. I've made it with tortoisesvn.

``` forgot to mention, if you select some text, and then add a function, that text will be used as the first argument in the function. the next argument will then be selected. if your text contains already multiple arguments, no problem, they will be filled in already. ```

``` oooowké, seems i was a bit too eager, i will try to get it working with all methods of method insertion, now it only works with the functiondock! ```

``` Thank you, it seems we've got anice idea to explore here. We'll take a look at this for release 0.9. Marking as enhancement. ```

``` What I'm working is along this line, but a bit different. This is designed to work nicely even with functions with multiple parameters.

Instead of inserting the parameter name, I prefer to show a tooltip/popup like in most IDE. For example, when typing "abs(", the pop-up will show "abs(value)" where value is printed in bold.

For multiple parameters, it's quite useful to highlight (in this case, with bold), the one is about to enter now.

``` yes, that would be better of course, so it seems you can maybe copy some code from kdevelop or so :)

So I'll leave it up to you.

I will maybe now focus on trying to get it working that you press TAB and then you go to the next parameter of a function, and file another issue if I get it working OK. ```
