Milestone
In Visual Studio 16.0.3, there is limited intellisense support for .editorconfig files. One challenge is that as new Visual Studio versions may add support for new .NET or C# options, it's hard to know what existing .editorconfig options are supported but not yet included in the .editorconfig file. The one-time export of VS settings into a .editorconfig files doesn't help with ongoing maintenance.
It would be nice if intellisense within a .editorconfig file only suggested options that are not already included within each respective file type. For example, suppose under "[*.cs]" if we already have "dotnet_style_qualification_for_event = true:warning". If we hit control-space, "dotnet_style_qualification_for_event" should not appear as an option.
An alternate approach could be to automatically add unspecified styles to .editorconfig files as Visual Studio support is available.
