Feature request: "Run & Debug" feature without `launch.json` even without Maven or Gradle (CodeLens & automatic debug configurations)

I don't know whether this issue should be here or in the debug adapter.

https://github.com/fwcd/kotlin-debug-adapter/issues/62

Motivation

The Java extension of VS Code can run or debug (the main function of) .java files in the opened folder without launch.json. This allows Java beginners to try their piece of code easily.

When you press F5 or click "Debug", you can start debugging without launch.json.

Currently, Kotlin files can't be run without launch.json. No "Run | Debug" in the top of fun main.

Alternatives considered

launch.json: too complicated
