This isn't actually used yet, but we can probably have a bsc config like this.

Build system and editor tooling can extract this line + the rest of the content whenever it encounters it, and extract the code actions from there. And show the actual error in the terminal and in the editor without this text.

Maybe this should incorporate #6203 at the same time. This type of functionality opens up for a JSON format anyway. |

Superseded by the new work on actions overall. |

Very messy PoC, but this is intended to show that we could fairly easily add a specific mode to
bscthat the editor tooling and/or build system can enable to get the compiler to emit code action data.The main advantage here is that we can co-locate the code that produces code actions with the actual type checker and what produces the error messages. Currently, we parse the error log to extract these things. This would make it more robust and easier to maintain, and automatically tied to the current ReScript version.
Example:
To start we could port all actions in https://github.com/rescript-lang/rescript-vscode/blob/fd911045515edd1c82e981e407281ee9f311a8ed/server/src/codeActions.ts and then add more as needed.
