I think that can be solved without bringing objects into the mix -- functions are usually grouped up into modules of some kind, so leading with `Foo.` (or `foo::` in C++, etc.) still provides a useful level of scoping that can aid autocomplete. On the other hand, tools like Hoogle [0] let you search for functions based on type, so you can search for e.g. `ByteString -> _` to find functions that take a bytestring. There's no reason the same paradigm can't be applied in an IDE.
