Support fuzzy search for "Go to Symbol in Workspace" for Javascript/Typescript

[cvbge]

Hi,

Please add support for "fuzzy search" when searching for symbols in Workspace for Javascript/Typescript symbols. Ideally it should work the same as "Go to File".

According to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59752257/how-can-i-search-symbols-with-partial-words-in-vs-code-with-intellisense such feature must be supported by extension, but AFAIK for Javascript/Typescript there's no separate extension, so I'm creating this against vscode itself.

There's existing feature request microsoft/vscode#109548 but according to microsoft/vscode#109548 (comment) it's general request, and this request is for Javascript/Typescript specifically.

Thank you.
