Type aliases are expanded out in tooltips

Version: Pylance language server 2020.8.2-dev.19.gfaa9ac5b (pyright fbe2eb4d) starting

Not sure if this is a bug or not, but it makes the user experience less than optimal

When the type alias is in the file scope the behavior is fine - as seen below:

However in the case when the alias is in the global scope of an imported module as in Pygame Colors module

When trying to call a function that uses the alias in the sig, the alias is expanded out

I noticed this earlier today too, and it's on my list of things to fix. It's a bug, and I understand the cause, but it's going to be a relatively complex changed.

The fix for this will be included in the next release of Pylance.
