Request: Syntax Highlighting?

[vknabel]

The builtin syntax highlighter of vscode is not maintained anymore and has some issues.

Is there a better one? Should we include it?

Issue initially reported as vknabel/vscode-swift-development-environment#17

@Kelvin13 has been working on this for Atom, maybe he can help us with some guidance.

Also in this thread there's been a discussion on this topic, specially on how to better approach the issue of building a good highlighter.

Just as an idea: we could also wrap JohnSundell/Splash into a vscode plugin.
