Description

Feature request (see comments in https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-makefile-tools/issues/87).

"Would it be possible to add something like ${command:makefile.makefileDefines[xxx]} with an array of all defines detected by your extension - So I could do ${command:makefile.makefileDefines[DEVICE]} which would expand to EFM32G890F128."

Research direction

Start by reading the comments in issue #87 and the existing Makefile Tools handling for detected defines and command expansion. Done means a parameter such as ${command:makefile.makefileDefines[DEVICE]} can resolve the requested define value, including the array-style lookup described here.
