Visual Studio - C# 'out' variable intellisense completion

Question

In C#, I often use the "Try..." methods to retrieve a value via an out variable. For example, the TryGetValue method on Dictionary . I notice that Visual Studio 2019 IntelliSense shows a reasonable out parameter type and default variable name, like out SubscriptionItem value in the example shown below. However, I can't figure out a way to autocomplete this and accept the suggested parameter definition in the manner of an expanded snippet.

Is there a way to autocomplete this without manually typing out what IntelliSense is already suggesting?

Since it doesn't appear Visual Studio does this yet, I've added a feature request to vote or track:

Update: this is now an issue in the Roslyn GitHub repo:
