Doesn't recognize setup.cfg file

Environment data

VS Code version: 1.19.1
Python Extension version: 0.9.1
Python Version: 3.6.3
OS and version: Ubuntu 17.10

On the linting setup, the documentation says than PyLint is activated by default and it provides some ways to configure the extension to work this package, specifically the documentation states than:

Options can also be specified in a pylintrc or .pylintrc file in the workspace folder...

But Pylint also allows the use of a setup.cfg file, which also is accepted as a repository for other Python modules configurations such as Flake8 and Coverage. Would be possible to add that option to the linting setup?
