Visual Studio Version: 17.0 preview2 31430.40.main

When preparing a long/complex command line for debugging a project, it hugely boosts readability to allow newlines in the command line. This allows you to put each argument on its own line, for example.

I did try just updating launchSettings.json to put \n in the command line but I found that it introduced args which consisted of just \n, for example. I believe some of the underlying handling would need to be updated for this to work.
