Description

Import errors should provide a quickfix: "Change path"

  1. Open user selection for symbol import, same as fixing a missing symbol
  2. If the user selected a new symbol
    2.1 remove old, broken use
    2.2 add new use

Research direction

Start by tracing the existing quickfix for a missing symbol and the handling of unresolved import errors. Follow how symbol selection is presented, then verify that choosing a replacement removes the broken use and adds the new use; the issue names no specific files or tests, so locate the relevant implementation and coverage first.
