Please Include an extenson list in each .code-workspace file

Issue Type: Feature Request

It would be very helpful if VSCode could Include an extenson list in each .code-workspace file, especially, when setting up a new environment or sync settings on a new computer.

VS Code version: Code 1.54.1 (f30a9b7, 2021-03-04T22:38:31.419Z)
OS version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.19042

What is this extension list is for? Can you please elaborate.

[ivaquero]

Thank you for your reply. The extension list is a list of extensions enabled in the workspace. Let me explain in detail. Sometimes, when I create (or update) a .code-workspace file, I have to enable and disable the extensions manually, again and again, it is really time-consuming. What I would like to get is a function that

• Generate a list of the enabled extensions in the .code-workspace file
• When VSCode reads this file, the listed extensions will be enabled, and the un-listed extensions will be disabled automatically
• The list can be a grouped list (with 'name': '' and 'items': []) to serve the same as the extension packs

It would be helpful when users set up a new workspace.
