@ffevotte - That `@static if false` trick worked for me in Emacs, and I wanted to thank you for sharing that. However, I wish there were a better way that didn’t involve tricking the LSP server. For example, I wish I could tell the LSP server that all Julia files in the `bin/` directory are part of the project and should be able to see the current package.
