String literals aren't inferred as strings

[vemv]

Although it's very much a marginal case, I noticed that (.| "a string") doesn't trigger accurate completions.

If fixing it, one could also tackle other literals such as [] (admittedly interop on a vector is also a very marginal use case)

I'd be willing to work on this one.

I'd say having that for a string literal is fine, but everything else is a stretch:).

Being able to invoke e.g. (.indexOf [3] 3) is kinda useful though. Not that I'd recommend that doing it all the time 😄

What for? :) You already know that the index is 0.

Maybe I want to quickly remember the methods I can call on a vector 👀 and then replace [] with my-vec.

Sort of a contrived technique, however it's definitely quicker than any alternative I can think of.

[] -> cider-inspect -> Click on the class name. Or PersistentV -> Tab -> cider-inspect. You get a buffer that doesn't go away so easily and is convenient to search, and you see all arities immediately.

Yeah but neither of those are as fast - with this approach it's about 3 keystrokes away ([, ., tab)

Another point of view is simply pride - when one sees a gazillion unrelated completions for (.| [,,,) , one just knows we can do better.

Either way, it's no big deal although probably I'd enjoy working on it some day.
