Sounds useful.

But if you wanted Emacs to include such functionality automatically, I'm 
not quite sure what would be the best place for it. OT1H if VS Code has 
this, it's probably not the worst idea, but OT2H it seems quite specific 
to use with containers (because in other cases you either wouldn't have 
this problem, or would solve it differently).

BTW project 0.11.0 is out, if you wanted to try it.
