Description

This hint helps avoid confusion in range when using multiple languages

But rangeExclusiveHints is turned off by default. Can we make it turned on by default?

For beginners, they may not be aware of the option and turn it on, so it is difficult to provide assistance

Compatibility

Heuristic recognition of 'beginners', i.e. users who have not made any configuration

In the case of 'beginners', provide some special configuration, such as rangeExclusiveHints

Problem

It may cause some confusion for the initial configuration, such as 'Why was this configuration auto disabled?'

Research direction

Start by locating the rangeExclusiveHints configuration definition and its current default, then inspect how rust-analyzer distinguishes users without configuration. Review any existing configuration tests or entry points for this setting. Done means the hint is enabled by default without configuration and the compatibility behavior is covered by tests.
