Description

Maybe I'm not using the best setup – I moved all my global vars into a master.ink. Would be nice if, when editing an include of the master, that auto-correct knows the names of the global variables.

Research direction
Investigate how auto complete currently works in inky (likely in src/autocomplete). Understand how global variables are stored and referenced from master.ink. Look at how other editors handle cross file variable completion. Consider proposing a design for storing variable definitions and resolving them across files.
