Feature Request

Here is one example:

Notice also e.g. how https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/cpp/configure-intellisense#_how-to-check-whether-intellisense-is-configured says talks about "Configure IntelliSense".

This makes it unnecessarily hard for newcomers of this extension for a few reasons:

  1. The command option is called C/C++: Edit Configurations (UI) and mentions nothing about IntelliSense. Yet if you select the command, the headline in the configuration is just IntelliSense Configurations.
    Suggestion: Rename it to Edit IntelliSense Configurations (UI). (Same for the JSON variant).
  2. Migrate and update any c_cpp_properties.json files to c_cpp_intellisense_configurations.json to make it more explicit.
  3. Go through all documentation regarding this.

I understand this might be a headache to do. But long-term it might make more things clear for newcomers and oldies alike.
