Summary of Feature

Description:
Definitely a want and not a need, but wondering if Chapel's VS Code extension could someday get a feature like autoDocstring. Basically, rather than manually typing out types, arguments, returns and throws, you start a multiline comment above the desired procedure/class/record/module, press enter, and a templated docstring appears.

Is this issue currently blocking your progress?
Not at all.

Code Sample

/* start a multiline comment and press ENTER, docstring appears for foo (foo already exists) */
proc foo(const a, in b=1) {}
