Compiler version
3.1.0
Minimized code and output
Welcome to Scala 3.1.0 (11.0.11, Java OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM).
Type in expressions for evaluation. Or try :help.
scala> enum BT { case `back-tick thing` }
// defined class BT
scala> BT.back-tick thing //completed after pressing TAB on BT.back<TAB>
-- Error:
1 |BT.back-tick thing
|^^^^^^^^^^^^
|postfix operator `thing` needs to be enabled
|by making the implicit value scala.language.postfixOps visible.
|----
|This can be achieved by adding the import clause 'import scala.language.postfixOps'
|or by setting the compiler option -language:postfixOps.
|See the Scaladoc for value scala.language.postfixOps for a discussion
|why the feature needs to be explicitly enabled.
Expectation
The completion of back-ticked names should be wrapped into back-ticks so that the code works. A beginner might not know the rules of an identifier and a back-ticked member not following the rules is silently showing up in the list of completions. This may cause confusion.
It would also be nice if completion worked also after typing a back-tick.
scala> BT.`back-tick thing` // completion does not work
val res0: BT = back-tick thing
