better visual studio code integration

[tekdj7]

look into better visual studio code integration, without requiring explicit type hinting. Maybe now with pylance extension, where stubs can be stored in a directory, and used from there, maybe that will help. so we don't have to add type hints to get auto-complete/hover working.

Hello Julio,
I am not familiar with building VS code extensions. Are you willing to contribute that?
We'll need an automated way to publish new versions of the extension so that they align with the pypi package.
