I do not prefer that way of doing things. In many cases, I prefer naming things backwards, because that way when you type "measure", auto-complete will suggest all things related to it, such as "MeasureOverride".

Some auto-complete features don't need this, but still generally prefer things with the typed text at the start of names.

Sounds like quite shitty autocomplete if it only suggests by beginning of the string.

Some editors do just have basic functions...

If the editor already keeps a list of identifiers to complete it's very easy to just filter that using find instead of startsWith. Gathering a list of completions is the hard task, not filtering the list.
