Steps to reproduce

Edit a netcore csproj

Hi.

It’s not part of OmniSharp, but I finally bit the bullet and wrote an extension to provide basic completion for PackageReference elements (package Ids and versions). I’m planning to eventually build out a full MSBuild language service behind it but it’s probably good enough now for the most common use-case (packages from nuget.org - custom package sources from NuGet.config will be added in a later release). The NuGet v3 API is a little slow (but not infuriatingly so). Hopefully they’ll improve it over time.

BTW, I’m happy to contribute this functionality back to OmniSharp if it makes sense to do so.
