I am using VS Code on Windows, and would like to use standard debugging, such as breakpoints, examining variable contents, etc.

I am unable to do so, instead adding writeln to examine the run time. FWIW, author Adam Freeman prefers this approach, eschewing the debugger.

But if I wanted to use the VSCode debugger, what configuration steps to make it available and working?

It should be possible, because I'm using it.

The installed extensions in vscode includes: code-d, serve-d

Then `.vscode/launch.json` is like:

```
    "configurations": [
        {
            "type": "code-d",
            "request": "launch",
            "dubBuild": true,
            "name": "Build & Debug DUB project",
            "cwd": "${command:dubWorkingDirectory}",
            "program": "${command:dubTarget}"
        },
    ]
```
