Currently the options file for fortls is quite strict with it's format; the name is fixed to .fortls, it has to be located in the root dir of the project, it cannot parse comments, it cannot handle globs, etc.
The general idea is to have a file that is capable of all the above and more, thus not making it necessary to pass command line arguments at all. This file can then be shipped with the program to allow for easy config with VS Code.
I have done quite a bit of work on the globs, jsonc and the adding options through the settings file. I will be releasing them in my dev branch and also opening a WIP PR in these repo as well once I iron out some bugs with hover.
