More generally, is it possible to start Julia with some options in VS Code? For example number of processes (say `julia -p 4 )`or optimization level (say `julia -O3`), or using a customized system image (I’m particularly interested to see if the approach to fast plotting proposed [here](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/prerelease-makie-interactive-plotting/6811/42), with `julia -J myimage.so` could work in an IDE). If that is currently not possible, maybe there could be a `julia.commandLineFlags` setting where one can specify all of this.
