Description

_This issue has been moved from [a ticket on Developer Community](https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/F---Add-Function-Dependency-Status-to-F/10545601)._

---
I would like to suggest that the function dependency IntelliSense be added for the F# language in Visual Studio. It is super useful for me when programming in C# when I want to know what consumers are currently depending upon the function I am viewing. It gives me a heightened awareness of the interdependencies of my code. I use this to delete unwanted clutter code (making the codebase leaner) while also being able to find out exactly how the function is being used and for what which informs my decision-making and saves me a lot of time. This is a very practical feature of C#/VS that I'd love to see with F#/VS. I also believe the addition of this feature/tool would increase adoption to F# which I would assume is aligned with the interests of Microsoft.
