providePrefixAndSuffixTextForRename only seems to work for global 'configure'

Bug
In VS Code, we set provide the providePrefixAndSuffixTextForRename preference on each file we configure preferences for:

[Trace  - 11:26:25 AM] Sending request: configure (9). Response expected: yes. Current queue length: 2
Arguments: {
    "file": "/Users/matb/projects/san/src/index.ts",
    "formatOptions": {
      ...
    },
    "preferences": {
        ...,
        "providePrefixAndSuffixTextForRename": true,
        "allowRenameOfImportPath": true
    }
}

However it looks like this setting is not observed if configured per-file, it only applies if we configure it for the entire project:

[Trace  - 11:29:28 AM] Sending request: configure (0). Response expected: no. Current queue length: 0
Arguments: {
    "hostInfo": "vscode",
    "preferences": {
        "providePrefixAndSuffixTextForRename": true
    }
}

Not sure if this also applies to allowRenameOfImportPath

It does also apply to allowRenameOfImportPath. Sorry for missing this.

Thanks for the quick follow up.

VS Code can easily pass this preference globally but in order to allow users to opt out of the new rename behavior (#29238) we will need to set it per-file. So while we'd prefer a fix for this in 3.3, we could work around this
