Doc comment autoindentation and expansion

[jgcodes2020]

Type: Feature Request

JSDoc comments are automatically expanded. So if I typed this:

/**‸
function foo(bar) {
   console.log(`foo: ${bar}`)
}

Pressing Enter would do this:

/**
 * ‸
 * @param bar
 */
function foo(bar) {
   console.log(`foo: ${bar}`)
}

In addition, these comments are autoindented. So if I were to put the cursor in a position like so:

/**
 * This is a very cool function.‸
 * @param bar something to put in
 */
function foo(bar) {
   console.log(`foo: ${bar}`)
}

Pressing Enter would do this:

/**
 * This is a very cool function.
 * ‸
 * @param bar something to put in
 */
function foo(bar) {
   console.log(`foo: ${bar}`)
}

This doesn't work in the C++ extension. Although a third-party extension provides Doxygen expansion, it does not provide autoindent. However, this is a feature I'd like to see in the main C++ extension or heck, even the built-in editor functionality!
