⭐ Suggestion

Auto imports / add missing imports should be able to add import * as XYZ from 'XYZ' when triggered on the symbol name XYZ in a file. This is useful if you prefer using namespace imports and can also help with discovering/exploring new packages

Right now we have auto imports and an add missing import quick fix for symbols in a module, but I don't see these options for the module itself

📃 Motivating Example

1. In a new project
2. npm I @types/vscode
3. Open new TS file and write vscode.

Right now I don't get an auto import for vscode. I'd expect an import that adds: import * as vscode from 'vscode'; at the top of the file

💻 Use Cases

• Make it easier to reference a symbol if you prefer using namespaces from the start
• Helping users explore new packages (just type vscode. to see suggestions in the vscode package)
• Working with node packages. It'd be nice to be able to type fs. to get an fs import
• Fixing code that has been copy and pasted between files
