Failing to resolve to correct StringContext

[allanrenucci]

object StringContext {
  s"Hello"
}

fails to compile with Dotty and Scalac:

-- [E050] Reference Error: tests/allan/Test.scala:49:3 -------------------------
49 |  s"Hello"
   |   ^
   |   object StringContext does not take parameters

This is because the code snippet desugars to

StringContext("Hello").s()

Is this on purpose? An easy fix would be to desugar to scala.StringContext("Hello").s()

or _root_.scala.StringContext if you want to be really paranoid

This is intentional in scalac, but I agree that it's not a feature worth preserving: https://github.com/scala/scala/blob/2.13.x/src/compiler/scala/tools/nsc/ast/parser/Parsers.scala#L1374-L1376
