Expression Editor should differentiate between hidden field name and unavailable field name

Expression Editor should differentiate between hidden field name and unavailable field name

I observed we won't be able to identify fieldname typos in an expression if used field is marked as hidden.(A field can be hidden using hideprefix script statement or if a field is tagged 'hidden' in the script).

Expression editor should color incorrect field name in 'red' color or somehow differentiate between unavailable field and the hidden field. I use my set expression indicators hidden by using underscore prefix and sometimes unwanted typos were leaked thru because expression editor didn't help to identify the mistake while editing the expression.
