// Feature: Semantic Syntax Highlighting
//
// rust-analyzer highlights the code semantically.
// For example, `bar` in `foo::Bar` might be colored differently depending on whether `Bar` is an enum or a trait.
// rust-analyzer does not specify colors directly, instead it assigns tag (like `struct`) and a set of modifiers (like `declaration`) to each token.
// For example, `Bar` in `foo::Bar` might be colored differently depending on whether `Bar` is an enum or a trait.
// rust-analyzer does not specify colors directly, instead it assigns a tag (like `struct`) and a set of modifiers (like `declaration`) to each token.
// It's up to the client to map those to specific colors.
//
// The general rule is that a reference to an entity gets colored the same way as the entity itself.
// We also give special modifier for `mut` and `&mut` local variables.
//
//
// .Token Tags
//
// Rust-analyzer currently emits the following token tags:
//
// - For items:
// +
// [horizontal]
// enum:: Emitted for enums.
// function:: Emitted for free-standing functions.
// macro:: Emitted for macros.
// method:: Emitted for associated functions, also knowns as methods.
// namespace:: Emitted for modules.
// struct:: Emitted for structs.
// trait:: Emitted for traits.
// typeAlias:: Emitted for type aliases and `Self` in `impl`s.
// union:: Emitted for unions.
//
// - For literals:
// +
// [horizontal]
// boolean:: Emitted for the boolean literals `true` and `false`.
// character:: Emitted for character literals.
// number:: Emitted for numeric literals.
// string:: Emitted for string literals.
// escapeSequence:: Emitted for escaped sequences inside strings like `\n`.
// formatSpecifier:: Emitted for format specifiers `{:?}` in `format!`-like macros.
//
// - For operators:
// +
// [horizontal]
// operator:: Emitted for general operators.
// arithmetic:: Emitted for the arithmetic operators `+`, `-`, `*`, `/`, `+=`, `-=`, `*=`, `/=`.
// bitwise:: Emitted for the bitwise operators `|`, `&`, `!`, `^`, `|=`, `&=`, `^=`.
// comparison:: Emitted for the comparison operators `>`, `<`, `==`, `>=`, `<=`, `!=`.
// logical:: Emitted for the logical operators `||`, `&&`, `!`.
//
// - For punctuation:
// +
// [horizontal]
// punctuation:: Emitted for general punctuation.
// angle:: Emitted for `<>` angle brackets.
// brace:: Emitted for `{}` braces.
// bracket:: Emitted for `[]` brackets.
// parenthesis:: Emitted for `()` parentheses.
// colon:: Emitted for the `:` token.
// comma:: Emitted for the `,` token.
// dot:: Emitted for the `.` token.
// Semi:: Emitted for the `;` token.
//
// //-
//
// [horizontal]
// attribute:: Emitted for attributes.
// builtinType:: Emitted for builtin types like `u32`, `str` and `f32`.
// comment:: Emitted for comments.
// constParameter:: Emitted for const parameters.
// enumMember:: Emitted for enum variants.
// generic:: Emitted for generic tokens that have no mapping.
// keyword:: Emitted for keywords.
// label:: Emitted for labels.
// lifetime:: Emitted for lifetimes.
// parameter:: Emitted for non-self function parameters.
// property:: Emitted for struct and union fields.
// selfKeyword:: Emitted for the self function parameter and self path-specifier.
// typeParameter:: Emitted for type parameters.
// unresolvedReference:: Emitted for unresolved references, names that rust-analyzer can't find the definition of.
// variable:: Emitted for locals, constants and statics.
//
//
// .Token Modifiers
//
// Token modifiers allow to style some elements in the source code more precisely.
//
// Rust-analyzer currently emits the following token modifiers:
//
// [horizontal]
// associated:: Emitted for associated items.
// async:: Emitted for async functions and the `async` and `await` keywords.
// attribute:: Emitted for tokens inside attributes.
// callable:: Emitted for locals whose types implements one of the `Fn*` traits.
// constant:: Emitted for consts.
// consuming:: Emitted for locals that are being consumed when use in a function call.
// controlFlow:: Emitted for control-flow related tokens, this includes the `?` operator.
// declaration:: Emitted for names of definitions, like `foo` in `fn foo() {}`.
