try.this.This.bug

if you select the word lower-case "this" above, hit control-space, then you get the following:

try.[name/].[name.toUpperFirst()/].bug

Before you hit enter, add "name.toLower()." 

What you'll then get is:  

try.[name.toLower()/].[name.toLower().toUpperFirst()/].bug

Acceleo should automatically add the .toLower so I don't have to.  Alternately it should warn you or ignore the extra methods added to the replacement name.

Of course I can split this into two separate replacement steps, but I'd prefer not to.

Thanks!
Jeff

This works as designed, and is not a feature we intend to change.

if the 'name' is mixed case, we do not want an automatic toLower(). For example if the name is "MyPackage" then adding an automatic toLower() would lose the capital P even with the subsequent toUpperFirst().
