Code complete makes the wrong suggestion here.
Should be “ICEIMMUNE” if I type “IC” not “Icons”.

No it shouldn’t. Lots of us follow certain conventions (e.g CONSTANT_CASE for constant variables, etc) and this would overall lead to a bad ux as users would be asking why intellisense is not working, only to realize that it is because they had caps off when typing their CONSTANT_CASE variable.
I type my constant variables in the case I defined them in, expecting specifically that constant to be suggested. I do not type my constants in lowercase when they are defined in uppercase expecting them to suggested. Suggestions should be ordered by accuracy, factoring in casing.

Are you suggesting that if typing in uppercase then uppercase variable names should be suggested first? I am probably misinterpreting your response but if that is what you are saying then yes I would support higher priority of those but not not suggesting lowercase ones at all.
In this example, I would expect TEST to be suggested above Teeshirt because although they both share an E, the E in what I am typing is uppercase and matches TEST better than Teeshirt.
Obviously entirely omitting suggestion of lowercase members is stupid.

Yeah I don’t really think the correct behavior is debatable here.
Some of those suggestions are really crazy. “then”?
