Include LuaCATS library with a dependent extension

Hi,

I have a set of LuaCATS types for a proprietary SDK: https://github.com/notpeter/playdate-luacats/

I would like to create a simple VSCode extension which depends upon sumneko.lua and bundles those types. Is this possible?

If it is not currently possible, I believe vscode-lua could provide a public API for other extensions by adding additional functions to the object returned from the activate(context: vscode.ExtensionContext) function:

https://github.com/LuaLS/vscode-lua/blob/7b58d50b4ea5feb1a478e6b0c18194ca1d1192a1/client/src/extension.ts#L33-L37

See: VSCode extensions API Documentation.

This exported API could be something simple like library_add(path) so I can provide a path to a subdirectory in my extension bundle for my lua ---@meta files.

I would love to attempt this myself, but I'm still struggling setup a working extension development environment. See: https://github.com/LuaLS/vscode-lua/discussions/125.

Thanks again for creating a great extension.

Start with client/src/extension.ts around lines 33-37 and the VS Code extensions API documentation, then review the linked extension-development discussion for setup context. Determine whether a dependent extension can bundle LuaCATS types or whether a public API is needed; done means the supported integration path is established and documented.
