This solution does not work for the latest versions.

"files.associations": {
    "[!.]*": "xml",
},

For the latest versions, you need to add a rule for each file length.

The example shows a solution for files up to 30 characters long.

Far from the best solution, but no better solution has yet been found.

"files.associations": {
    "[!.]": "xml",
    "[!.][!.]": "xml",
    "[!.][!.][!.]": "xml",
    "[!.][!.][!.][!.]": "xml",
    "[!.][!.][!.][!.][!.]": "xml",
