vscode: Cannot drop a *. ply file into the window

Issue Type: Bug

extract tracks.ply from tracks.zip
drag&drop file into vscode

I am getting the error: Unable to open 'tracks.ply': P.overwrite is not a function.

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

However, I can open the file via the the Open File... menu (Ctrl + O).

VS Code version: Code 1.56.0 (cfa2e218100323074ac1948c885448fdf4de2a7f, 2021-05-04T21:58:14.757Z) OS version: Linux x64 5.8.0-50-generic snap

@bpasero Thank you very much for considering and solving my edge case 😃

@lramos15 take note of commit, we were passing untyped IEditorOptions to the group but internally expect EditorOptions. This is a bad typing issue that I can look to cleanup in debt week, I think we should drop the EditorOptions and TextEditorOptions classes entirely and only allow object bags as options without methods.

I installed the insider build and replaced the settings.json with:

{
    "workbench.editorAssociations": [
        {
            "viewType": "default",
            "filenamePattern": "*.ply"
        },
    ],
}

and the problem shows up.

So this part of the settings is causing the issue with drag&drop-ing PLY files.
