Description

It would be nice if the final merged devcontainer configuration JSON were provided somewhere in the container filesystem before executing lifecycle hooks. For instance, the `postCreateCommand` for the feature of an editor tool running inside the container could refer to the `customizations` key of the merged devcontainer configuration to determine custom settings; or the `postStartCommand` for the feature of a network tool could automatically set up a tunnel to a particular port based on the `forwardPorts` key.
