Description

sometimes we have many warnings and we would like to apply quick fix, currently it seems that we can only do this one by one. Is it possible to apply quick fix to a range?

like the above, it's not effecient at all to apply quick fix one by one

Research direction

Start by reproducing the current one-by-one quick-fix workflow in rust-analyzer with several warnings, then trace the existing quick-fix action and how it receives the current file or selected range. Done means users can apply applicable quick fixes to the current file or a selected text range in one operation.
