Description

Hello, I'm wondering if code completion is possible in vscode while using windows.

My issue is stuff like `Key, KeyConvertible` is defined in `fdb.go` but since `fdb_windows.go` is empty none of these are available? Things like `Transaction, Database` also seem to be undefined. My current work around is to ssh/wsl inside of the editor, but I'd prefer not to.

Thank you

Research direction

Compare the Go definitions in fdb.go with the empty fdb_windows.go file while reproducing code completion in VSCode on Windows. Determine whether the missing definitions are intended to be available on Windows; done means the relevant FoundationDB types resolve in the editor without requiring SSH or WSL.
