Suggestion

Allow the maxFileSize property to be configurable.

Use Cases

Currently, when trying to import large JSON files, the Typescript Language Service fails to provide intellisense due to the maxFileSize limit being exceeded.

Examples

[Trace  - 10:29:07 AM] <semantic> Event received: largeFileReferenced (0).
Data: {
    "file": "/home/user/project/src/data.json",
    "fileSize": 6534662,
    "maxFileSize": 4194304
}

Checklist

My suggestion meets these guidelines:

• [x] This wouldn't be a breaking change in existing TypeScript/JavaScript code
• [x] This wouldn't change the runtime behavior of existing JavaScript code
• [x] This could be implemented without emitting different JS based on the types of the expressions
• [x] This isn't a runtime feature (e.g. library functionality, non-ECMAScript syntax with JavaScript output, etc.)
• [x] This feature would agree with the rest of TypeScript's Design Goals.

Yep, just hit this one whilst working with a 43MB JSON file. Was pulling out my hair trying to debug:

Property 'xxx' does not exist on type '{}'. ts(2339)

Would be great if we could configure this. Or provide an alternate solution (e.g. should I be providing typings instead?)
