Bug? Const keyword not capitalized in IDE

[Alessandro71]

writing
dim const variablename as string = "ConstantValue"
in the IDE gets auto-capitalized in
Dim const variablename As String = "ConstantValue"

the "const" keyword is not capitalized

this is the expected behaviour.
Dim
As
and String, Int, Float are reserved words (core) and are capitalized.
const is the variablename you defined and ou should expect it NOT to be capitalized.

 

[Alessandro71]

so "Const" is not a keyword for defining a Constant?
thus the following line
dim const variablename as string = "ConstantValue"
actually defines 2 variables, the first named "const" and the second named "variablename"?
looks weird to me, since "const" is not recognized as a variable if i try to use it in subsequent code

so "Const" is not a keyword for defining a Constant?

"Const" too is a keyword, of course.

 

[Alessandro71]

Then, not being capitalized is an actual IDE bug?

I would say it's an oversight. It also doesn't seem to appear in the autocomplete list.
