Description Erich Gamma CLA 2003-05-16 09:01:09 EDT 
The implementation is AST based we could add a fallback solution that is based 
on code resolve.
Comment 1 Erich Gamma CLA 2003-05-16 09:09:23 EDT 
For example, when there is a missing semicolon you should still be able to do 
an organize import.
Comment 2 Peter Kalmus CLA 2003-11-11 11:55:49 EST 
Here are two specific cases:

  MyNewType
  MyNewType.

After typing either of those statement fragments, ctl-shift-o should do its 
thing so that you get context help after the '.'

The first fragment complains about "missing semicolon".  
Second gives a different complaint.
Comment 3 Martin Aeschlimann CLA 2003-12-08 04:37:51 EST 
See bug 48242 for why I think we should not change 'Organize import' but 
improve code assist.
