Currently the available options for launch.json's "configurations" tag "console" are "terminal" (integrated vscode terminal) or "debugConsole" (integrated vscode debug console).

There should also be the possibility to launch the terminal as an external window to use the systems terminal in a separate window. The integrated terminal in vscode controls a bit fussy and this could improve the workflow for cli apps.

The option could like "console": "externalTerminal".
