I am running into serious issues with nim 1.6.0 when using VS Code. VSCode 
seems to be creating a lot of nimsuggest processes which never end, resulting 
on my windows PC running out of memory and crashing after a while.

Checking with process explorer I can see that on the process tree the code.exe 
process creates manu nimsuggest.exe processes, each of which creates a 
conhost.exe process and another single nimsuggest.exe process. This is not 
recursive (i.e. it is not code creating 1 nimsuggest.exe process which creates 
another one, etc). The code.exe process creates 
_[many](https://forum.nim-lang.org/postActivity.xml#many) nimsuggest.exe 
processes, and each of them creates a single conhost.exe and a single 
nimsuggest.exe process (which does not creates other processes below it).

This makes it impossible to do any coding using VS Code. The problem does not 
happen if I switch back to nim 1.4.8 (which only creates a couple of nimsuggest 
processes with their own conhost and nimsuggest children) so this seems to be a 
regression in 1.6.0.

Does anybody else have this problem?
