Description

  1. Add a package to a project.
  2. The package is successfully added, but no intellisense shows.
  3. Only when you kick off a dotnet build (or restore?) does intellisense show.

Users would expect it to show immediately (this is also the behaviour of NuGet)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the package-add flow in Ionide and compare it with the behavior after running dotnet build or restore. The work is done when intellisense becomes available immediately after adding a package, without requiring a separate build or restore.
