I use VSCode with Julia 1.1.0 and the extension. Due to some system configurations, I need to set LD\_PRELOAD for libstc and libz needed by PyPlot.  
So, the problem is, VSCode seems to ignore preload. In the extension configuration we can only set julia’s path, but not additional options as LD\_PRELOAD.  
Are there any suggestions so I can use this setup properly?

Hi, is this needed for the process running the extension or for the integrated terminal?

Could you open an issue for this? I don’t think we are doing anything to _remove_ env vars, but worth double checking.
