Documentation & autocomplete work for code inside string literals

[ForceBru]

Describe the bug

I have this multiline string literal in a single cell:

"""
def thing(self):
    return str
"""

• When I mouse over return and str, corresponding documentation windows pop up. However, there's no documentation popup for def.
• When I start typing + o| after str, I get autocomplete suggestions for object, oct, etc.
• Basically I get the entire code editing experience within this string.

Another piece of code put into a multiline string:

"""
class Thing:
  def thing(self):
      return str
"""

With this, I'm now getting documentation for def, along with the above.

However, these are just strings, not code, so autocomplete & documentation popups probably shouldn't be active here.

Is this annoying or unexpected? I havent noticed this since I don't write too many comments in notebooks. It could be seen as a nice feature to have autocomplete in the docs though (assuming its not annoying)

We send only the code prior to the cursor to jedi, so it may not consider the string being closed and hence thinking it actual code.

Is this annoying or unexpected?

Not annoying at all, it's just something I found a little weird and indeed unexpected because string literals probably aren't meant to be parsed at all. Perhaps some resources are wasted by parsing them. Otherwise it could very well be a feature because it doesn't really break anything.
