Sdk: Named constructors do not appear in completion list when not using new/const keyword
When using the Dart 2 preview in VS Code / Intellij / Android Studio, there are no auto fill options named constructors.
For example trying to auto fill
new ListView.
presents me with all the named constructors for this class.
Using
ListView.
does not present any auto fill options.
Dart version: Dart 2.0.0-dev.48.0.flutter-fe606f890b

We oscillated between enabling and disabling this feature and ended up with disabling it, because we are not sure what the state of runtime is/will-be.

@scheglov can you elaborate a bit on what you meant? It's a big inconvenient that moving forward, all factories will not be auto-completable.

I got a confirmation that optional new/const is ready in VM, and people actually want to stop writing them. So, I landed https://dart-review.googlesource.com/c/sdk/+/55506 that restores completion for constructors without new.

\o/!!!
It looks like the revert^3 was from today. I assume it means when the next dart version rolls, this will be on in all IDEs?

Yes, all IDEs get completion from Analysis Server, so all of them will get constructors.
