formatSelection

[Proulx-S]

In the original matlab IDE, the "Smart Indent" functionality is extremely useful to automatically format a section without loosing your own idiosyncratic format in the rest of the document.

In the VS code extension, it looks like the only formatting functionality is "formatDocument", which obviously formats the whole document. The closest to the original Smart Indent would be a "formatSelection" functionality that would format only lines with selected text, and ideally also the line where the cursor is to allow easy single line formatting.

Thanks a lot for the beautiful extension!
