Completions are missing do

[ndmitchell]

When starting a file, and writing main = do, I get completions for drop etc. I suggest that keywords should be available as completions always. Particularly problematic because after do I often want a newline, but in this context enter inserts the word drop.

Issue in haskell ide engine: haskell/haskell-ide-engine#953

This seems odd to me. Do other languages do this? E.g., if you write C#, does cla suggest class?

The linked issue explains why this is less of an issue in other languages: In something like C# completions are mostly triggered after a . and you only get relevant completions. Whereas in Haskell we don’t have that clear indicator (except for qualified definitions) so you end up completing in a context where do could be valid.

That's the state of IDE completion as it was a decade ago. In C# you're always completing, and yes, it does complete class - but probably into a snippet that contains the braces and a highlighted name too.
