Steps to Reproduce:

1. Putting "python.linting.pylintArgs": ["--enable=F,E,W,R,C"] in .vscode/settings.json has desired effect
2. Putting "enable=C,R,W,E,F" in local .pylintrc has no effect. (To make sure that the .pylintrc file is being used I tried doing "disable" of the same categories, which had the the desired effect.

In other words: "enable" statement in .pylintrc seems to be neglected of overruled by default parameters. Which is not in accordance with the following documentation; https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/linting
