Description

If adding a data type that takes a parameter to an import list, the snippet should be empty, and the completion should include (..) if it has subcomponents.

So

  , Foo

Should offer completion of FooBar(..), not FooBar Int or whatever.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the completion handler for import statements and ensure that when adding a type to an import list, the snippet is empty and the completion includes `(..)` if the type has subcomponents.
