ubaldot left a comment (vim/vim#19205)

That would be a nice behavior, but (and I guessing here) Vim has not been d=
esigned to cope with complex types like classes and implementing a sort of =
rewiring system would means to structurally redesign Vim. I am also not sur=
e how many languages can make such rewiring automatically.=20

I am not sure also, but I think that another mechanism that would require a=
 structural redesign would be the implementation of futures.=20

That to say that Vim is old and still rocks, but we have to accept that we =
are hitting the boundaries for what it was designed.=20
