class Foo {
  static def getDefault() {}
}

class Bar {
  def bar() {
    Foo.default  // default is italics and marked as an error
  }
}

The error is 'no viable alternative' because 'default' is recognized as a keyword so the parser fails. Nevertheless the type system seems to be able to resolve the static feature call such that semantic highlighting is applied. 

This is quite confusing. Unfortunately, it happens quite often as a static getDefault() method is common for activators and is used often on Display.

Workaround is of course to write ^default or getDefault.

Content assist will insert the latter.
