Anything Else?

tfenv v3.0.0

I have had this issue for a couple of years and I get head nods from others when I talk about it. I was attributing this to GitHub Copilot, but I am getting the exact same issue on a Windows 10 system with a clean install of VS Code (with an OOB configuration), without GitHub Copilot.

This does not happen with other identifiers (i.e. local, module, each, etc.)
