Description
In the PowerShell ISE, I frequently type partial command names, containing wildcards. For example, to find the command New-AzureRmVirtualNetworkSubnetConfig, I might type *subnet* and hit CTRL + SPACE to invoke Intellisense.
Unfortunately, this isn't currently working in the Visual Studio Code PowerShell Extension.
Here's a screenshot showing it working in PowerShell ISE. Forgive the fading-out Intellisense, due to some issue with screen capture in SnagIt.
Cheers,

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the Visual Studio Code PowerShell Extension with the *subnet* example and Ctrl+Space, then compare the behavior with the PowerShell ISE shown in the screenshots. Done means wildcard command names trigger Intellisense completion in the extension.
