[feature request] Add Quick-Fix for misspelled APIs, e.g., Module 're' has no 'findAll' member; maybe 'findall'? Pylint E1101:no-member

[hamirmahal]

Problem

Extension users have to manually correct misspelled APIs, .e.g,

Module 're' has no 'findAll' member; maybe 'findall'? Pylint E1101:no-member

Desired Solution

There is an option in the Quick Fix... dropdown in VSCode that automatically suggests the appropriate APIs, like findall in the above example.

The current Quick Fix options only include AI assistance, which can take a while and may not be available to everyone.

The replacement behavior suggested here is usually instant, with other language extensions.

Even though the error is from pylint this type of correction can probably be done generically in Pylance. Moving this there for further discussion.

Pylance has a spelling suggestion code action (see below), but it seems to only work in certain scenarios. For example, it didn't work for the re.findall scenario that you mentioned above or for the findall method that I show in the screenshot. But it did work for suggesting a fix for the MyClass class name. So maybe we just need to extend this code action to support other scenarios?
