Description
Prerequisites
- I have written a descriptive issue title.
- I have searched all issues to ensure it has not already been reported.
Summary
I am working a lot with PSD1 files that all use the same structure. Currently I have to create this file manually, since VSCode doesn't know the structure of the PSD1 file and therefore is unable to help out.
I know that the PSD1 format is lacking a schema definition for validation. But it would be really helpful if VSCode would be able to help out creating these PSD1 files.
Proposed Design
Maybe the plugin can initiate a schema format for PSD1 files and incorporate that into the plugin, so it is then able to use IntelliSense to allow easier creation of PSD1 files.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by mapping how the VS Code PowerShell extension handles PSD1 files and reviewing available schema formats. Done would require a defined PSD1 schema incorporated into the extension so IntelliSense can assist with creating these files.
