Code-completion options for children: omit the List as (only) option

Not sure exactly what we should do here, but since List<Widget> is the only thing I can given to children:, should we provide a single code-completion option, when trying to code-complete after children: ?

I think I would expect a single response, something like: <Widget>[] and if I select that, my cursor is inserted in between the brackets.

What I meant was: If you’re going to complete ‘child’ then go ahead and insert the empty list, too. If you’re asking for completion after ‘children:’ then just insert the list.

Do both? I can type children: fast enough I probably wouldn’t use the completion.

but how fast can you type children: <Widget>[]? 😉

By “do both” do you mean have the Row completion fill out the children: bits too? If so, working on that as well!

Given that we now complete children: with an empty Widget list, I think this is a non-issue. In any event, let’s see how people get on in the new world and re-visit if needed.
