No autocomplete for native JavaScript props and methods

• VSCode Version: 1.5.1
• OS Version: OS X El Capitan

Autocomplete for native methods and properties in JavaScript doesn't work inside IIFE (Immediately-Invoked Function Expression).

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Type document.get at the top of JS file - you will get 'getElementById` autocomplete suggestion.

2. Type document.get inside IIFE construction - you'll get no autocomplete suggestion for getElementById.

(function (window, document) {
  document.get| // no autocomplete
})(window, document)

This looks like an issue, I hope this will be fixed in the next release.

@fronteed thanks for opening this issue. Moving to TypeScript language service (powers JavaScript auto complete).

Should be working correctly in latest drop of TypeSript (TS 2.0.2 or later). VSCode ships with an older version of TypeScript. Please see Using Newer TypeScript Versions documentation for more details on updating your VSCode to use a different version of TypeScript.

Current issue still exists in VS Code v1.5.3, please check it again.
