Description

This was original opened by Rich. See https://github.com/microsoft/pyrx/issues/3466

Visual Studio has a number of additions to the LSP.

Unfortunately they're not documented yet. You can find them all by searching in this spot here:
https://dev.azure.com/devdiv/DevDiv/_git/VSLanguageServerClient?path=/src/product/Protocol/LanguageServer.Protocol.Extensions&_a=contents&version=GBdevelop

Those are the classes created that add extra functionality to the LSP.

These are needed in order to get full intellisense support in VS using pylance.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Visual Studio Language Server Protocol Extensions classes at the linked Protocol/LanguageServer.Protocol.Extensions path and compare them with PTVS's current LSP support. Determine the integration scope needed for full Pylance IntelliSense support; the issue does not name PTVS files or tests, so completion criteria need to be established first.
