Description

Hello,

thanks for this first release of the MATLAB VS Code extension, it is very welcome!

As I have multiple MATLAB installations installed I'd like to be able to select one of these. This is implemented in the Python extension for VS Code. It is is possible to select a default interpreter and also add multiple interpreters. Also Python interpreters are detected automatically.

It would be nice to have similar functionality for MATLAB VS Code extension.

Keep up the good work!
