/ in name of record breaks symbol building

1. Describe the bug If downloading symbols and a there is a record (might be other objects) that contains a / in its name, the compiler cant read it. Happens with C/AL Table 823 "Name/Value Buffer". Considering this is a default table and you can also name objects containing a /, this seems to be a bug.

It seems to happen only as parameter.

You get the message: Argument 5: cannot convert from 'Record "Name/Value Buffer" temporary' to 'MissingTypeSymbol'

2. To Reproduce 1: Have version of "AL Language extension for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central" greater than version 11.7 (latest correct working version) 2: Have a Table containing a / (like C/AL Table 823 "Name/Value Buffer") 3: Have procedure with that object as a parameter in an extension. 4: Call that procedure from a different extension 5: Execute "AL: Download Symbols" (in pop-up menu) 6: Try to compile

codeunit x "CallingCodeunit"
{
local procedure CallingFunction()
var
        ltrecNameValueBuffer: Record "Name/Value Buffer" temporary;
        lcunCodeunitInOtherExtension: Codeunit CodeunitInOtherExtension;
begin
        lcunCodeunitInOtherExtension.FunctionInOtherExtenstion(ltrecNameValueBuffer);
end;
}

codeunit y "CodeunitInOtherExtension"
{
procedure FunctionInOtherExtenstion(var ptrecNameValueBuffer: Record "Name/Value Buffer" temporary)
begin

end;
}

3. Expected behavior Correct reference of symbols so it can be compiled

4. Actual behavior Generates error: Argument 5: cannot convert from 'Record "Name/Value Buffer" temporary' to 'MissingTypeSymbol'

5. Versions:

AL Language: (Platform/application/runtime) 14.0.0.0/14.0.0.0/3.2
Visual Studio Code: 1.88.1
Business Central: 14.0.47686.0
