Visual studio and VS code don't apply tsconfig.json if it uses braces in glob

[scriby]

TypeScript Version: 2.1.4

Code

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "noEmitOnError": true,
    "removeComments": false,
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "sourceMap": true,
    "target": "es5",
    "jsx": "react",
    "module": "amd"
  },
  "compileOnSave": true,
  "include": [ "**/*{.ts,.tsx}", "../App", "../Scripts" ],
  "exclude": [ "../App/**/*spec.ts", "../App/**/*.e2e.*ts" ] 
}

Expected behavior:

Decorators can be used without issue in Visual Studio and VS Code for ts/tsx files in the current directory.

Actual behavior:

Visual Studio and VS Code give an error indicating decorators are not supported. The tsc compiler works just fine. Changing "**/*{.ts,.tsx}" to "**/*.ts", "**/*.tsx" works around the error. It appears the glob implementation in VS does not support braces properly.

Right now curly braces aren't supported in our glob patterns, so that's what you're seeing.

Didn't get any additional feedback on this one...
