Description

Sometimes a banned type can support an autofix, but you'd prefer to pass an array of potential replacements rather than one autofix.

Updating the Types option to:

{
  message: string;
  fixWith?: string;
+ suggest?: readonly string[];
}

would allow for replacements to be show as ESLint suggestions.

This would also allow the default Object and {} banned types to use suggestions.

Fail

function foo(x: {}) {}

Pass

function foo(x: object) {} // replaced by using ESLint suggestion
