Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
The documentation at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/bicep/parameter-files#file-name says `.json` file is supported as a `TemplateParameterFile`. I tested the deployment with a `.jsonc` file (` New-AzSubscriptionDeployment -Name "deployment1" -Location "southafricanorth" -TemplateFile ".\main.bicep" -TemplateParameterFile ".\parameters\dev.params.jsonc"`)and can confirm that the deployment is working fine. Will the documentation be updated to reflect this supported file type? Does Bicep natively support `.jsonc` files for parameters?
**Describe the solution you'd like**
The documentation getting updated to provide more information.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the parameter-files documentation at the linked Microsoft Learn page and verify the reported New-AzSubscriptionDeployment command using the `.jsonc` parameter file. Confirm whether `.jsonc` is natively supported, then update the file-name guidance to explain the supported file type and validate the documentation against the observed deployment behavior.
