Description

My apologies if there's a way to do this in VSCode's config already, but I couldn't find it; you can turn revealProblems on in tasks (see https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/44146 ), but as far as I can tell checkOnSave isn't a VSCode task.

Research direction

Start by comparing rust-analyzer's checkOnSave behavior with VS Code's revealProblems task setting, using the related VS Code issue #44146 as context. Confirm how checkOnSave problems are surfaced and define the change as complete when the Problems pane automatically reveals whenever checkOnSave produces problems.
