Can I configure Visual Studio Code's Outline view to show what is public/private?

Question

Can I configure Visual Studio Code to show in the Outline panel what the members and methods are in the sense of Public and Private? If so, how?

IntelliJ would show a green or a red marker to indicate which were private and which are publicly accessible methods and properties.

I suppose you theoretically could achieve this in an extension by using the detail property of DocumentSymbol, which I think is what shows to the right of the name in the Outline View, but the extension providing language support would need to actually do that (so I guess the more practical answer for someone who doesn't want to go writing a language support extension or forking one would be to go check for an existing feature-request issue ticket or create one in the specific extension's issue tracker). If you want something that looks nicer than that / looks different / uses an icon instead of text / is differently positioned, then you'd need to file an issue ticket against VS Code itself. There's also a kind property, but its type, SymbolKind doesn't have any sort of modifier mechanism.

Note that the FileDecoration part of the extension API has a badge property, which I think can affect the Explorer View. An extension could also just contribute its own type of subview to the Explorer View which does whatever it wants.
