Description
It would be nice if, after typing use and some name, it shows a full path of possible items as a completion candidate. For example, when typing use BTre in the beginning of a file, it would list std::collections::BTreeSet and std::collections::BTreeMap and so on as the candidates.
I'm not sure if the request is already made, since searching use completion in GitHub issue search yields 66 open issues...
