Description

P5 defines quite a few global variables and functions, many of which have common words for names. Suggesting enabling P5 every time someone references an undefined variable like day is unlikely to be the most helpful suggestion.

Practical suggestion: only auto-suggest library globals if the library defines three or fewer globals in total.

Research direction

Start with src/config/libraries.js, especially the p5 global definitions linked in the issue, then locate the code that generates suggestions for undefined variables. Verify the current behavior for a common name such as day; done means libraries with more than three globals are no longer automatically suggested while smaller libraries remain eligible.
