Does this formatter work with VSCode? I installed the JuliaFormatter extension for VSCode and attempted to run it on a short file (less than 100 lines of Julia code). It has been running for several minutes and shows no sign of completing.

VCCode version 1.62.0  
Julia version 1.6.3  
Windows 11

The upcoming 1.5 release of the Julia extension for VS Code switches our auto-formatter implementation to JuliaFormatter.jl. Feel free to try [the Insiders release](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=julialang.language-julia-insider).
