Description

the change for #13580 doesn't add a file nesting pattern but overrides the whole list of patterns vscode provides by default. this means that with the rust-analyzer extension installed, vscode won't nest package.json and package-lock.json unless i configure them to again.

while i agree with the idea behind #13580 it doesn't currently seem possible for extensions to contribute additional nesting patterns. i've opened microsoft/vscode#168498 for that

Research direction

Start by reviewing the change for #13580 and the linked VS Code issue microsoft/vscode#168498 to understand the nesting-pattern contribution limitation. Confirm whether the upstream limitation has changed; done means contributed patterns no longer replace VS Code's default nesting patterns, including package.json and package-lock.json.
