This is super stinky. But it has had little action and has now been here so long fixing it would be a breaking change. Especially because if you have pretty listing on, this won't happen.

So, not planning to fix.

BTW, @gafter is just doing normal maintenance on Roslyn in moving things to this repo.

Actually, VB is case insensitive, so both outcomes can be right.

Hi @jrmoreno1 , I think it might be some cut corner in NameOf code but I think this is a rarity error because most VB dev going to type first 3 characters and space bar. X)
