Syntax Highlighting: Set()

dkhayes117 · October 7, 2022, 12:22pm

Not a big deal, but I'm just wondering why list(), len(), etc. are highlighted yellow, but set() isn't.

Everyone and their mom knows list and len but only real heads use set is my personal conspiratorial reason for this.

Any reason you don't iterate through the built-ins to auto-populate this list?

Not my code. It's meant to run without any Jython or Python environment, hence the hardcoded list. I think it not being a complete hardcoded list is just an oversight by the primary dev.
I could extend/reimplement this class in Ignition, but then I'm taking on that maintenance debt. Easier to push changes upstream, which I'll probably do at some point.
