Yes, the problem seems to be that at this stage you don't really know
what classes or namespaces are going to be defined in this and other
files. You can check with external types (for example with the
GlobalEnv class), but for the ones defined in the current assembly it
is going to be hard.

In the VS you probably need some ``non-precise'' solution. For example
if you have the type tree returned from some previous run of the code
completion engine, you can check with it.
