Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating where the extension invokes gvim.exe and handles file-opening arguments, then check how the --remote behavior should be passed through. Done means a requested file opens in an existing gvim instance when that option is used, with the behavior covered by a verification or test if the project provides one.
