formatCodeOptions not respected

I added the following to my tsconfig.json

"formatCodeOptions": {
    "placeOpenBraceOnNewLineForFunctions": true,
    "placeOpenBraceOnNewLineForControlBlocks": true
}

Looking in the tsserver.js that comes with the plugin, I see the compiler attempts to read these settings from somewhere (I assume its the tsconfig.json), however, it's simply not working. If also played with the casing, eventually literally copying it from the tsserver.js, but no game.

Is the server expecting a different file? Did I format it wrong? Or is it only partially implemented?

Start by inspecting tsserver.js and how it reads settings from tsconfig.json. Reproduce the issue with the supplied formatCodeOptions, then trace whether the options are loaded and passed through; the issue is done when the configuration source and support for these formatting settings are established and the behavior is corrected or clearly documented.
