Run SQL Scripts content assist enhancements

To help users find SQL functions, it would be helpful to enhance content assist.

The following works by showing results when placing cursor before ) and pressing [Ctrl]+[Space]:
select * from table();
select * from table(schema.);

Confusion is that the list that is shown contains both UDTF and UDF (and no denotation of what each is). If both are to be shown, ideally the window that shows some information about them would say denote what it is.

The following does not work with content assist:
values ();
values (schema.);

Ideally the "values" content assist would show UDF matches and the "table" content assist would show UDTF matches.


Use Case:

This would help a developer locate desired functions.
