36//FIXME: split the following feature into fine-grained features.

38// Feature: Magic Completions
39//
40// In addition to usual reference completion, rust-analyzer provides some ✨magic✨
41// completions as well:
42//
43// Keywords like `if`, `else` `while`, `loop` are completed with braces, and cursor
44// is placed at the appropriate position. Even though `if` is easy to type, you
45// still want to complete it, to get ` { }` for free! `return` is inserted with a
46// space or `;` depending on the return type of the function.
47//
48// When completing a function call, `()` are automatically inserted. If a function
49// takes arguments, the cursor is positioned inside the parenthesis.
50//
51// There are postfix completions, which can be triggered by typing something like
52// `foo().if`. The word after `.` determines postfix completion. Possible variants are:
53//
54// - `expr.if` -> `if expr {}` or `if let ... {}` for `Option` or `Result`
55// - `expr.match` -> `match expr {}`
56// - `expr.while` -> `while expr {}` or `while let ... {}` for `Option` or `Result`
57// - `expr.ref` -> `&expr`
58// - `expr.refm` -> `&mut expr`
59// - `expr.not` -> `!expr`
60// - `expr.dbg` -> `dbg!(expr)`
61//
62// There also snippet completions:
63//
64// .Expressions
65// - `pd` -> `println!("{:?}")`
66// - `ppd` -> `println!("{:#?}")`
67//
68// .Items
69// - `tfn` -> `#[test] fn f(){}`
70// - `tmod` ->
71// ```rust
72// #[cfg(test)]
73// mod tests {
74// use super::*;
75//
76// #[test]
77// fn test_fn() {}
78// }
79// ```
