Description
**Bicep version**
Bicep CLI version 0.17.1 (d423d61882)
**Describe the bug**
Imagine having the following code:
```bicep
@description('This is parameter foo.')
type fooType = int
param foo fooType
```
In that case the description of the parameter foo should be the description of the type. But intellisense does not show it.

Contributor guide
Research direction
The issue concerns Bicep CLI 0.17.1 and IntelliSense for a parameter using a described user-defined type. Start by reproducing the provided example in an editor and trace the IntelliSense/type-description path; done means the parameter displays the description inherited from its type.
