Description
Probably best is to limit this to something like "left/right anchored" and "leftmost/rightmost within cluster" for each StatusBarItem, as the integer priorities that are actually used make for very opaque configuration.

Research direction
Start by locating the code that creates and configures each StatusBarItem in the VSCodeVim extension. Determine how current integer priorities control placement and define the supported anchored and within-cluster behaviors before implementing configuration. Done means users can configure these placement choices without opaque integer priorities.
