Description
(I use Rust Analyzer via Visual Studio Code.)
I often find myself accidentally leaving out the ! when typing invocations to common macros like assert, println, etc. It would be nice if RA had an option to auto-correct that class of mistakes.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. First clarify which macro calls should be recognized and how the opt-in auto-correction should behave, then identify the relevant rust-analyzer entry point and tests. Done means the agreed option works for the selected missing-! cases and is covered by tests.
