Auto-import suggestions can suggest importing a symbol that already exists due to a `*` import

[AlexWaygood]

Summary

For example:

reveal_type is already present in the global namespace here (due to the * import), so I'm surprised to see an autocompletion suggestion here that appears to indicate that it would add a from typing import reveal_type statement to the top of my module.

In actual fact, it seems like accepting the completion suggestion doesn't actually add an import? So perhaps this is just an issue with the label that's displayed on the completion suggestion.

to reproduce:

from typing import *

X = ClassVar[int]
reveal_

It looks like this is a problem on the playground:

But not in VS Code:

So yeah, I'm guessing this is just a labeling issue. The playground has a different code path for generating labels.

Ahhh I'm sorry for how many Alex issues are playground-specific -- what can I say, I use it constantly for debugging ty 😅

It's great dog fooding!
