Description
Apologies for the confusing title. The problem is that package functions are somehow not recognized when they are referenced from the body of a function. Here's an example in sublime; I get the same behavior in VS Code.

Research direction
Reproduce the diagnostic in Sublime or VS Code using the package-function call inside a function shown in the report. Then trace the language-server path that reports "No visible global function definition"; done means package functions referenced in function bodies are recognized without spurious errors.
