Problem Description

The Visual Studio Code Marketplace is huge and different extensions offer different things. If multiple extensions offer the same features, then users may get duplicated results for hover tooltips or code completion suggestions.

Proposed Solution

As this extension has overlapping features with Microsoft's extensions and Red Hat's extension, knowing how often we are installed alongside these other extensions will help us understand usage patterns and how best to deduplicate similar features and educate users as to why they are seeing duplicated results.

Proof of Work

I've verified the payload in the debugger.

As this extension has overlapping features with Microsoft's extensions
and Red Hat's extension, knowing how often we are installed alongside
these other extensions will help us understand usage patterns and how
best to deduplicate similar features.
