Hello! usethis is a great package! Functions like edit_r_profile() are wonderful, both for advanced users and for new students.

Are there any plans to add a function like edit_positron_settings() for examining/editing the settings.json file which controls Positron? I (and my students) would definitely use this, if it were available.

The new use_air() function (#2109) crosses this Rubicon, so yes I can imagine this happening. But that PR also surfaced a pretty big problem which is that jsonlite is currently not set up to help edit JSONC:

#2109 (comment)

I don't think we can really dig in to editing this file without such a capability.
