Refactor -> `Move to a new file`/`Move to file` fail if contains dependency function call

[EnixCoda]

Type: Bug

I noticed that Refactor -> Move ... not work occasionally. I did some investigation and below is the minimal reproducible example.

Part 1 - string template tag function

I have not find any dependency that moving its template string tag function works.

// index.js
// `good__` prefix means `Move ...` works on that variable, otherwise `fail__`

import { local } from "./local";
export const good__localTemplate = local``;

export const good__undeclaredTemplate = undeclaredTemplate``;

import dedent from "dedent"; // you can use any package installed locally
export const fail__dedent = dedent``;

import { default as renamedDefault } from "dedent";
export const fail__renamedDefault = renamedDefault``;

import { notExistingExport } from "dedent";
export const good__notExistingExport = notExistingExport``;

import notInstalled from "not-installed";
export const good__notInstalled = notInstalled``;

Part 2 - general function

Sometimes moving dependency function works.

import { add } from "lodash";
export const good__lodashAdd = () => add();

import { createStore } from "@reduxjs/toolkit";
export const fail__reduxCreateStore = () => createStore();

In order to reproduce it locally, please do install dedent, lodash, @reduxjs/toolkit in your package.
