This PR improves the vscode syntax highlighting.
- Added `comment` keys.
- Added highlighting of invalid numbers such as `0x`, `0b`, `0xa`, etc.
- Restricted highlighting of numeric type literals to common types to
avoid highlighting identifiers such as `i1`.
- Changed the highlighting of named operators (e.g., `as`).
- Added `char` and `str` to type literals.
- Added `const` to modifier keywords.
- Removed `addr` keyword.
- Refactored some rules to use `begin`/`end` to handle line breaks.
- Added highlighting to `choice` values as `enum` values.
- Updated the rules for matching `types`.
- Added highlighting to rhs of `adapt`, `alias`, `choice`, `constraint`,
`impl`, `interface`, `as`, and `impls`.
- Added highlighting to rhs of bindings.
- Added highlighting to function return types.
- Updated the rules for matching `functions`.
- Updated the rules for matching `variables`.
- Added highlighting unidentified words as `variable`.
- Added examples and before/after screenshots.

Introduce a principle that the Carbon language should not encroach on
the
developer's namespace. Satisfy this principle by making `Core` a
keyword.

This is a modifier if it appears before an introducer and a control flow
keyword if it appears before `=>`. Use introducer highlighting if it's
neither.
VSCode's JSON parser no longer accepts comments in at least textmate
grammars, so remove the comments. It's unclear whether VSCode changed
here or whether this hasn't worked since the comments were added.
Clean up the textmate grammar: refactor, add some missing operators and
keywords, classify keywords as introducer / modifier as appropriate, fix
comment grammar to require space after `//`, and generalize recognition
of iN, fN, uN to recognize all such type literals.
Be more cautious in language server -- I was seeing frequent crashes for
`IdentifierName` parse nodes whose token was not actually an identifier,
presumably due to error recovery.
This PR adds filetype highlighting support to block string literals in
the TextMate grammar.
After adding the regex in the `begin` of the block string literal,
`beginCaptures` is used to access the first capturing group of the regex
(which captures the filetype) and apply the `constant.character.escape`
rule.
Closes#3641
Also make minor updates to the skeletal design in
docs/design/name_lookup.md following #2113, as there are no longer any prelude names that are made available to unqualified name lookup by default.
Add `type` to the keyword list in
docs/design/lexical_conventions/words.md, following #2360.
codespell now sees "falsy" as a mis-spelling of either "false" or "falsely"; adding it since I think this it's occasionally used this way in programming. e.g., https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Falsy
Adjusts to use the new check-copyright support for lines starting with a dash.
TextMate is the go-to definition language for syntax highlighting for editors lack dedicated language support for a given programming language. This patch contains a very minimal, yet functional TextMate bundle definition for Carbon.
This allows Carbon users to import the TextMate bundle into their editors to get basic syntax highlighting for Carbon code until we have a more solid specification for the language (that's when the fun with dedicated plugins/extensions begins!).
**Support**
- String literals with escape codes (currently using C highlighting rules)
- Numeric literals in decimal, hexadecimal and binary (lacks _ separator support though)
- Single and multi-line comments
- Highlighting of all? (let me know if some are missing) keywords in the language
Here is an image of the highlighting in action in IntelliJ Dracula mode
