Configurable import suggestions to override global types

Suggestion

In our code base we have a module export called Option which we use very often.

However, if we try to reference Option in a module where it's not currently imported, we will not get import suggestions/fixes for this.

This is because there is already a (different) global type of the same name, provided by the dom lib types.

I would like to be able to configure TypeScript and/or VS Code so that I do have import suggestions for Option.

Suggestion: any time a module references a global value, and the project has a module export of the same name, provide an import suggestion for that.

Potential caveat of this suggestion: what happens when you select "add all missing imports"? Ideally I would want it to import my Option, but what if I intentionally wanted to use the global version instead?

Checklist

My suggestion meets these guidelines:

• This wouldn't be a breaking change in existing TypeScript/JavaScript code
• This wouldn't change the runtime behavior of existing JavaScript code
• This could be implemented without emitting different JS based on the types of the expressions
• This isn't a runtime feature (e.g. library functionality, non-ECMAScript syntax with JavaScript output, etc.)
• This feature would agree with the rest of TypeScript's Design Goals.

まず、グローバルな DOM 型と同じ名前を持つモジュールエクスポートに対して要求されている TypeScript および/または VS Code のインポート候補の動作を確認します。明示的な候補と「不足しているすべてのインポートを追加」が、モジュールエクスポートとグローバル版のどちらを選択するかを定義します。動作を設定可能にし、意図的なグローバル使用のケースが引き続き明確であれば完了です。
