What happened

Trying to open files from the GitHub PR explorer for this PR. It contains files with curly braces {} which won't open in VS. Getting a Error opening file: Input string was not in a correct format. error.

Steps to Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open PR in GitHub extension.
2. Try to open any of the generic classes like ArrayPoolBufferWriter{T}.cs
3. See error in status bar
4. Note, if you pick another file (like the first one AllocationMode.cs it works fine, just fails on any file with curly brace).

Expected behavior

File opens.
