Intellisense suggestions should include quotes around reserved words #2549

Closed MikeStall closed 4 months ago

Children appears to be a reserved word (requires identifier single quotes). Parent,Self are like this.

If it's really a reserved word, then intellisense should include the single quotes when it suggests it.

This gives an error in the usage without single quotes, but the usage with quotes works. With({'Children': 123}, ThisRecord.Children)

This is from list here: https://github.com/microsoft/Power-Fx/blob/d1931623598e3f557e25fc7ad6fe25065de3b268/src/libraries/Microsoft.PowerFx.Core/Lexer/TexlLexer.cs#L99

Practically - it means intellisense should suggest these words with single quotes to make them identifiers. .
