Research direction
Reproduce the completion behavior in VSCode and CLion using function return type and variable type positions, then compare the suggestions with the screenshots in the issue. Trace the rust-analyzer completion entry point for type contexts and identify how non-type expressions are included. Done means irrelevant non-type expressions no longer appear in those places and the behavior is covered by a regression test.
