Description
I had some problems passing args to a PowerShell program from launch.json. Please see my original detailed report at https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/4057 .
@weinand asked me to move the bug to vscode-powershell.
This morning I found a workaround to the problem (use single quotes within double quotes), however, I still think there is a need for some documentation of the launch.json file format. I filed an issue detailing what documentation I (as a VSCode user) would like to see. Please see https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-docs/issues/230
Please address at least the documentation issue.

Done means documenting the launch.json format relevant to PowerShell arguments, including the reported quoting workaround, with the scope agreed before starting.
