Description

Intellisense is great for things like typeof, so why not make it great for boolean types too!

I think adding intellisense for booleans saves a bit of typing, and it still hasn't been implemented.

Look at this:

const a = (): boolean => true;
a() === // [true, false] intellisense prompt
const b = a();

if (b === /* [true, false] intellisense prompt*/) 

I think this would be a great addition to Intellisense. Any feedback is appreciated.
