- members of a type alias referring to an anonymous product type?

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the IntelliSense member-info tooltip implementation and checking whether existing configuration handles union/intersection constituents or members of anonymous product-type aliases; done means providing a supported way to omit the requested information.
