Description
This is really a request for environment:
Eclipse JDT's Open Type dialog supports using *,? and camel case abbrivations to match the type names. For example:
OAuConf*tion
will find all Oauth2 related auto configuration classes.
Basically what this enhancement is asking for is something equivalent of what is documented here.
Steps To Reproduce
- Go to Symbol in Workspace...
- One has to type the prefix to start matching types.

Research direction
Start at the Go to Symbol in Workspace... command and its QuickPick matching behavior, then compare the requested wildcard and camel-case matching with the linked Eclipse JDT reference. Done means the command can match symbols without requiring a prefix and supports abbreviations such as OAuConf*tion.
