VS Code configuration settings cleanup

Announcement

#Development Environment #VSCode #InterSystems IRIS

Hello Community! As another great year comes to a close, I wanted to notify you about an upcoming change to the vscode-objectscript extension. In an effort to reduce the extension's footprint, simplify maintenance, and improve ease of use, InterSystems plans to remove some rarely-used configuration settings. Our telemetry tells us that these settings are changed from the default by fewer than 2% of users. However, before finalizing the removal I would like to give any users of these settings the opportunity to explain why a setting shouldn't be removed. The list of all settings that are planned for removal, as well as a version of the extension without the settings that can be used for testing, can be found below.
