Tree-based input assistance for unicode and more in Visual Studio Code

Description

This package provides a flexible input assistance framework built on top of Visual Studio Code's completion provider functionality. It works by loading JSON tree-based mappings from textual patterns to strings.

For example, by loading a suitable mapping, a user could use the text \lambda for inserting the glyph λ.

The "tree" behavior comes into play when there are choices between completions. For example, a mapping might replace \rightarrow with → and \rightarrowtail with ↣. This package will provide a choice between inserting → and completing to ↣, allowing the user to complete in a stepwise fashion.

Status

Eventually this extension will allow the user to load various "input method" files or configure existing ones. However, for the moment it comes pre-configured with a port of the Agda input method which maps LaTeX style commands to unicode glyphs.
