Consider adding ${file_name} and etc.

[KalitaAlexey]

Hello everybody.

I am opening this issue because I was asked in https://github.com/KalitaAlexey/vscode-rust/issues/66

I think that such feature may be very useful.

One unresolved question is that which variables to add.

I have a list:

• base_name: examples/ex.rs => ex
• file_name: examples/ex.rs => ex.rs
• relative_path: examples/ex.rs => examples/ex.rs
• absolute_path: examples/ex.rs => path/to/workspace/examples/ex.rs

I want it to be substituted when it is used as:

• an argument in any of "*Args"
• an argument of "args" in any of "custom*Configurations"

What do you think about it?

Thanks

@dremon, It is interesting. I will think about it.

If someone wants to implement it, you should copy the implementation from https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/blob/a33f2a234ab28d04d8f4abd2d15808fe013a5201/src/vs/workbench/services/configurationResolver/node/configurationResolverService.ts

FWIW, I'd find this very useful. Similarly, the ability to run tests in current file (when in the top-level tests directory) would be great.
