Description

Currently when using reason syntax record completion doesn't work properly when using merlin (it does work with OCaml). Probably this is related to the reason-merlin in this repo.

See context here: https://github.com/ocamllabs/vscode-ocaml-platform/issues/256#issuecomment-652610558.

Research direction

Start by reading the reason-merlin code and the linked vscode-ocaml-platform discussion for the record-completion failure. Reproduce completion with Reason syntax through Merlin and compare it with the working OCaml case. Done means record completion works correctly for Reason syntax when using Merlin.
