The problem is that during the lexical analysis variable information
is not yet available.

Parsing a_1 different depending on the context would be extremely
dangerous (the exact same code could mean two entirely different
things depending on where you type it) and in many case not be
possible (the refactoring engine needs to be able to parse code
without knowing the context).
