Suggestion: Linter-like error highlighting

Body

There is a class of errors which neither the linter nor the editor can detect which would be very helpful if Copilot could. Here is one example where I've forgotten to save the parameter in my constructor (Typescript):

type MyParams = { ... }

class MyClass extends BaseClass {
  #params: MyParams

  constructor (params: MyParams & BaseParams) {
    super(params)
    // oops, forgot this.#params = params
  }
}

Neither the linter nor the editor would detect this problem, but Copilot could. It would be nice to have a warning if Copilot thinks that there is an error. It would probably need to be a very high confidence to avoid a lot of useless noise but if it worked properly it would be very useful.
