Persistence: Counts are saved and restored between VSCode sessions, allowing for continuity across different coding sessions.
VSCode Status Bar Integration: View current file line counts right in the status bar for quick access.

To-Do
The following tasks are planned for future releases of Code Line Counter:
[ ] Comprehensive test cases: Add a full suite of test cases to ensure the extension's reliability and coverage.
[ ] Reduce scope to project rather than IDE: Focus line counting to specific projects within a workspace rather than all files open in the IDE.
[ ] Store details as analytics: Store line count and file statistics as analytics for further tracking and visualization.
[ ] Ignore comments: Add a feature to exclude lines of comments from the line count.
[ ] Ignore imports: Exclude import statements from the line count.
[ ] Ignore boilerplate code: Ignore common boilerplate code sections, such as license headers, from the line count.
