Yes, the assistant architecture would also be an interesting subject.

Possible targets:
- Unit testing infrastructure for all assistants (some tests already
exist I think, see test_cppcodegen.cpp)
- Improve signature assistant (work with return values etc.)
- Automatic renaming assistant (when you rename a variable in the
code, offer to do a "refactoring" to rename it globally)
- Less intrusive assitant popups (allow collapsing the popup so it
only shows as a lightbulb on the icon border, or similar)
- Allow using assistants even when not in the same line, without being
annoying (interesting for the "create declaration" assistant)
- Some other interesting assistant ideas?
- General bugfixing in related areas of the C++ support

As I know that mentoring you wouldn't require too much effort, I'd be
willing to mentor you.
