Extra features available in coc.pyright

[Rafał Chłodnicki]

Just as a FYI in case it's not a common knowledge: coc.pyright implements a bunch of extra features on top of pyright, including semantic highlighting and inlay hints. Haven't tried it myself.

After brief look I think we could (if someone has a a need, will and time) take some of that code and support those features here by building pyright ourselves with those features added as patches.

Or submit PRs to pyright 😂, though pretty sure they can, already, strip those codes from pylance but for some reasons they don't.

coc-pyright's implementation is currently bound to nvim. Making a custom pyright with patches will make it available to all editors.

That basically turns pyright into Pylance. Here are some noticed extra features provided by Pylance:

• Capabilities:
  • Expand Selection
  • Inlay Hints
  • Semantic Highlighting
• Code Actions:
  • Extract Method
  • Extract Variable
  • Move Symbol
• Source Actions:
  • Remove all unused imports in a file.
• Stubs:
  • cv2
  • django
  • gym
  • jmespath
  • lightgbm
  • lxml
  • matplotlib
  • networkx
  • numpy
  • openpyxl
  • pandas
  • pythonwin
  • scipy
  • seaborn
  • sklearn
  • sqlalchemy
  • sympy
  • transformers
  • vispy
  • win32
  • win32comext

I think now DetachHead/basedpyright is prefered over coc's.
