Description

Would it be possible to add support for autocompleting properties of S7 classes with @? E.g.:

library(S7)

Point <- new_class("Point", properties = list(
  coords = class_numeric
))

p1 <- Point(1)

p1@coords

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by reproducing the S7 example in R and tracing the language server's completion handling for the @ operator. Done means properties of S7 classes, such as coords, are offered when completing p1@.
