Description

For example:

    "yaml.schemas": {
        "/Users/me/one-schema.json": "more/specific/path/config*.yaml",
        "/Users/me/two-schema.json": "config*.yaml",

Which schema will be applied to this file: /Users/me/more/specific/path/config-development.yaml ?

Can I have a default for all "config*.yaml" files that can be overridden by a more specific glob pattern?
