VS Code API Explorer

demo

This extension adds a new "VS Code API Explorer" terminal profile. Unlike a normal Node REPL, it is hosted directly in the VS Code extension host process and has access to the VS Code API through the predefined vscode variable. This makes it easy to experiment with the API or better understand edge cases that aren't covered in the documentation.
