#include completion should sort files starting with underscores last

• OS and Version: Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC Redstone 5
• VS Code Version: 1.33.1
• C/C++ Extension Version: 0.22.1
• Other extensions you installed (and if the issue persists after disabling them):
  • CMake Extension: 0.0.17
  • CMake Tools Extension: 1.1.3
  • MinGW kit : x86-64 8.1.0
  • CMake: 3.14.1

I want to make the intellisense only provide suggestion for only STL header files (iostream, type_traits, ...), not show any other files in the compiler kit. Let me use some screenshots to explain my desire:

• I didn't include type_traits, but still have suggestion for this. What i want is it will only show suggestion depend on the include:
  
• The GL folder and the other files start with __... is implement files MinGW, i dont want to browse for these files in #include. What i want is whenever i use #include it will only show STL headers and files in my folder root:
  
• My MinGW STL library is in C:/Program Files/mingw-w64/x86_64-8.1.0-win32-seh-rt_v6-rev0/mingw64/lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/8.1.0/include/c++, so i include it in both includePath and browse.path in configuration:
  
• In workspace settings file, i exclude entire mingw folder, i expected it will exclude "the other files" that i described above but it didn't work:

"/mingw64/" is a file-based exclusion. Can you change it to a folder-based exclusion of "**/mingw64" or change the C_Cpp.exclusionPolicy setting?

I tried both way as you said but it didn't work

Coming back to this issue:

1. type_traits is included by iostream and we don't have a way to selectively exclude symbols from included headers.
2. auto-complete usually sorts symbols starting with _ to the end of the list. It looks like we aren't doing this for headers. (bug)
3. You shouldn't need to add system include paths to includePath and browse.path in your configuration. We query the compiler in compilerPath to fill these in automatically.
4. The exclude glob patterns don't apply outside of the ${workspaceFolder}. I don't think there's a way to achieve this.
