Description
UE4 Version
4.23.1
SkookumScript Version
4.23.1
Describe the bug
When using _do on a List where the item type derives from Object, the IDE shows a red syntax squiggle for methods that don't derive from the Object base class:
The code compiles fine, but if highlighted shows the error:
The method 'actor_location()' does not exist for an instance of the class 'Object'

Research direction
Reproduce the reported case in UE4 4.23.1 using a List whose item type derives from Object and invoke _do on actor_location(). Then trace the IDE's syntax diagnostic for the reported Object method error; done means the valid method no longer receives a red squiggle while the code continues to compile.
