Main configuration file (tsb.json)

[basarat]

People need multiple tsconfig.json files, but its difficult to know without user intervention what their plan is with all these files.

Spec out (and use) something like a tsproject.json (or call it tsb.json?)

Also support other things like:

• tslint.json
• package.json
• tsd.json
• formatCodeOptions
• webpack config
• launch.json

Refs (Most tsconfig issues):

Heirarchical tsconfig : microsoft/TypeScript#1928
Mutiple tsconfig : microsoft/TypeScript#4714
Medium sized projects dependencies : microsoft/TypeScript#3469
name property : microsoft/TypeScript#2938

Sample :

{
    "projects": [
        {
            "name": "somename",
            "tsconfig": "path to tsconfig.json",
            "launch" : "path to launch.json",
            "tsd" : "path to tsd.json",
            "package" : "path to package.json"
        }
    ]
}

Also if there are multiple tsconfig.json people generally want to see errors from only one tsconfig.json. Otherwise the error panel becomes fairly useless fairly quickly

To decrease barrier to entry we went with just tsconfig.json detection for now
