Taming XCode's auto-complete options

Question

I am fairly new to XCode and the Objective-C language.

When I am instantiating a class, for example an NSMutableArray, XCode will provide a whole lot of auto-complete options. Even for an empty class which simply extends an NSObject has many options, most of which seem completely useless.

What is the reason for having so many auto-complete options, or can they be "tamed" in the preferences?

NOTE: This is unintentionally a duplicate.

I found some interesting information, here:

And also about making custom macros for code-sense here that might be more useful to you than your current code-sense out of box experience:
