Why do codecompletion always "ignore" declared variables when looking for a suggestion, if the "normal" lookup fails, and camel case lookup is used?

For example, i have an class called TeamGroupSelection, in my method i have declared a variable of this class. The name of the variable is teamGroupSelection.
If i type "team" and invoke cc, i will get a list where my instance "teamGroupSelection" is selected.
However, if i write "tGS" and hit cc, my instance is still at the very top of the list, but it is the first matching class/interface that is found that matches the search term via camelcase. 

Wouldent it be a lot more logical that the behavior is the same if using camel case or just plain text comparison?
