Refactor should take into consideration primitives vs objects (in Python)

[rentruewang]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

• VS Code Version: 1.84.2
• OS Version: Windows 11

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Use the following code snippet

a = 0

for i in range(10):
    a += 1

2. Use extract method from refactoring tools on the for loop.
3. Get the following code

a = 0

def new_func(a):
    for i in range(10):
        a += 1

new_func(a)

This has no effect on primitive types.
