Description
There is one thing that I used to use a lot in ISE, and is missing in PowerShell extension. In ISE, if I type "get-date" (all lower case) and then later position a cursor inside of it and press "TAB", it tab-completes to a proper casing. In VSCode, the "TAB" in that case add a tab. Could you bring back the ISE behavior?

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. First reproduce the behavior in the PowerShell VS Code extension by typing a lower-case command such as "get-date" and pressing Tab inside it, then compare the result with PowerShell ISE. Done means Tab restores the command's proper casing without inserting a tab.
