file associations documentation unclear
See original GitHub issueFrom the following excerpt in the readme:
With the *.[extension] pattern you can define custom file icon associations. For example you could define an icon for *.sample and every file that ends with .sample will have the defined icon. Use **.[extension] with two asterisks to apply the file association also for the filenames ending with that file extension.
it’s unclear what the distinction between one vs two asterisks is. It sounds like they do the same thing.

@navanshu Unfortunately, this is not supported yet by the extension API of VS Code. There’s already an opened issue at their repository and hopefully this feature can be implemented in the future.
I’m closing this issue as the description has been updated to be easier to understand.
