So I probably should have started from the other end, here :-)

I'd really like to make the completion retrieval and ranking more flexible. In 
particular

- incorporating results from other sources (indexes: both in-memory and 
external services).
- combining more quality signals like usage count and fuzzy-match-strength in a 
non-lexicographic-sort way

The biggest difficulty in *supporting* unusable functions is maintaining the 
invariant that all unusable functions are ranked lower than usable ones - all 
code that deals with ranking has to deal with this special case, e.g. by making 
score a tuple instead of a single number.

If the current approach of "give them a penalty" is enough, knowing that in the 
future it may lead to e.g. a very widely used but inaccessible protected 
function being ranked highly, then that seems fine to me too. A wider 
configuration space means testing is more work, but happy to live with it. What 
do you think?

(With my user-hat on, configurable is fine, though I do strongly feel they 
should be off by default, and it seems unlikely many users will change the 
defaults.)
