I didn't say there was a problem, I said that doing it with regexp
etc. would be easier and more flexible.
Language injection AFAIU requires an additional grammar library, which
means someone must compile it, the end-user must ensure it's
installed, etc. IOW, it makes the disadvantages of tree-sitter more
prominent, for the benefit of a very minor feature. From where I
stand, that makes the balance tip in favor of the simpler solution,
which users could more easily activate and customize.
