Feature Description

When I double click any @Variable in the T-SQL code, it will be much more convenient if whole variable name including the @ character was selected. Today, just the variable name (without @) is selected.

Problem and Motivation

Every other T-SQL editor (including e.g. Azure Data Studio or SMSS) has this feature. It just makes it more comfortable to use (e.g. for copying variables around or in and out of dynamic SQL).

Behavior in vscode-mssql	Behavior in Azure Data Studio

When I first started to use vscode-mssql few months ago I thought this is an intended feature and I'll get used to it, but I never did - current behavior is just inferior in all aspects.

Note

I'm aware that this can be set up globally in VS Code by removing the @ character from editor.wordSeparators. But I think this behavior is specific to T-SQL only, so it must be controlled by this extension.
