Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Intellisense/autocomplete doesn't work in Visual Studio Code when using Pylance as the language server.
It works when using Jedi or the Microsoft language server but it still has issues understanding the return types of functions.
Describe the solution you'd like
This is a known "issue" with Pylance, but they say it is a design choice. The solution should be to generate type stubs as discussed in this issue.
There is a discussion on how to automatically generate stubs for pybind11 here and the options seems to be either pybind11-stubgen or mypy's stubgen.
Describe alternatives you've considered
I could use a different LS such as Jedi but it's worse in general and there would still be issues.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the Pylance issue and the pybind11 stub-generation discussion linked in the report, then compare pybind11-stubgen with mypy's stubgen. Identify how stubs would be generated for this binding and verify that the resulting output provides Pylance autocomplete and function return types.
