Description
If you have
mod some_name;
then when the file for the some_name module doesn't exist, a suggested action will be to create the file.
Currently, this doesn't happen with types.
If you have code like
struct Ast {
pub items: Vec<Item>
}
and assuming there's no Item type in scope, there won't be a suggested fix to make the Item type. There's suggestions for new methods, getter/setter, deref impl, but no suggested fix to "make a new struct with this name because it doesn't exist".

Add coverage for offering a new-struct action for an unresolved Item reference, then verify the example produces that suggestion.
