Ported from TFS WorkItem: 529860

Repro Steps:

1. Create a new C# library.
2. Surround any existing classes with a namespace, if they're not already there.
3. Start typing an attribute before the namespace.

ACTUAL RESULT

Completion list doesn't apear as I type [assembly] keyword

EXPECTED RESULT

assembly keyword should have been recommended

This is being caused by poor parser recovery. If it's before a class or anything else, the parser will start to parse it as a attribute. But if it's before a namespace, it gives up and just skips the [ token.

The request is that when you have:

[

namespace Foo

or

[]

namespace Foo

or

[a]

namespace Foo

For the parser to treat the [ (and subsequent) tokens as part of an attribute with a missing name, instead of just skipping them entirely.
