A mechanism is provided for inferring a computer user's intent in developing computer system code. Specifically, an inference mechanism is provided that can infer a user's intent at least on three levels: a lexical level, a syntactic level, and a semantic level. The inference mechanism employs various rule-based and heuristic-based techniques including type coercion, scope proximity, parameter count and arguments, and so on. Various inference mechanism controls are also employed to increase inference robustness, including timing of making suggestions, the number of suggestions, and the extensibility of suggestions.
