Show where the definition was imported from

I often wonder where is something imported from. For an example dimap could come from any of the imports since I know I don't import any profunctor packages.

Proposal: Defined in <module>, imported from <module>

What do you want to do with this information? It seems possible your issue may be solved more directly.

I'd like to import it in another file.

While there is a code action to add an import for a binding, it usually lists quite a bunch of possibilities.

One option would be to group import suggestions by existing and available imports in the project.

What I often want to do is copy a fragment of code from one module, paste it in another, and "drag" all the imports that were required across. E.g. if one module has import Data.HashMap as HM and I copy the expression HM.filter then I want the import moving to the new module (or even better, adjusting if I have Data.HashMap as HM2 in that file. Knowing that the foo keyword comes via a particular import is one way to do that slightly manually.

Afaict the info on hover already include the Defined in <Module> in ghcide/hls (not sure what pr did the change)
