wordBasedSuggestions is gone in 0.19.0

Is this intentional? The content can be found here in the 0.18.1 version of monaco.d.ts.

wordBasedSuggestions can no longer be found here in 0.19.0.

I'm assuming this isn't intentional but if it is please add an entry to the CHANGELOG.md so we can all be made aware of this.

There are a bunch of settings that are "global" and are being read directly from the configuration service by various pieces of code. Those settings do not make it through the same code paths as the internal editor options and cannot be customized per editor. In other words, wordBasedSuggestions was in IEditorOptions, but that was somewhat of an oversight since it does not function like any of the other editor options.

Here are the "global" settings which are not editor options per se, although calling editor.updateOptions with them works as expected due to some trickery done via the SimpleConfigurationService. Those settings are currently not properly typed anywhere.

TL;DR: Effectively, updateOptions({ wordBasedSuggestions: false }), or other code patterns work, but this isn't typed properly anymore... Just like the other "global" settings.
