Enable use of snippet variables in workbench.action.terminal.sendSequence #66337

Hi :)

I would love to be able to use task variables to send snippets of code to my terminal.

{ "key": "ctrl+shift+t",
  "command": "workbench.action.terminal.sendSequence", 
  "args": { "text": ". ${file}" } 

I am developing all the time interactively with editing a file and fiddling in a REPL (in integrated Terminal) alongside, where I have my environment loaded. I edit a function, I load the file from the REPL, and then test it interactively.

The difference to Tasks is that I have state in the REPL. This then can be used for different languages with a simple configuration.

I have written a Sublime Plugin for this feature,
and I will write a Extension, according to your response.

Thanks for reading, and keep up the good work
