Define Python variables in launch.json as if using debug console #16990

Hi,
I want to suggest an option in the launch.json for adding variables at startup, which don't have to be parsed by boilerplate CLI.
The idea comes from the observation that I can add/overwrite variables in a running debug session by using the debug console. Depending on the number of variables, this quickly becomes tedious and time consuming, so I thought it would be nice to have an option to automate this.
I tried to find a method to do this via the launch.json, but it seems that there are only options to either define environment variables (env) or command line arguments (args).
