Description

@dtolnay
struct S {
    m: Hashmap<String, ()>,
}
error[E0412]: cannot find type `Hashmap` in this scope
 --> src/main.rs:2:8
  |
2 |     m: Hashmap<String, ()>,
  |        ^^^^^^^ not found in this scope

If the code had been written with HashMap instead of Hashmap, we would get the following extremely likely correct suggestion:

error[E0412]: cannot find type `HashMap` in this scope
 --> src/main.rs:2:8
  |
2 |     m: HashMap<String, ()>,
  |        ^^^^^^^ not found in this scope
  |
help: consider importing one of these items
  |
1 | use std::collections::HashMap;
  |
1 | use std::collections::hash_map::HashMap;
  |

Hashmap is a fairly common capitalization in other languages (https://grep.app/search?q=Hashmap&case=true) so it would be good to provide an appropriate suggestion in this case.

(For whatever reason this doesn't trigger #72640.)
