It seems that the initial effort on using tree-sitter was following font-lock notions too closely. For instance, if we are creating features such as "function names", "nested functions", and "punctuation" does it still make sense to have something like `font-lock-maximum-decoration'? Because, it is not clear to me how we can say that fontifying "multiline docstrings" is a *higher* decoration than fontifying "function names". Maybe the items in the list should not have a priority of particular order, their presence just serves to enable, while their absence disables, the fontification of a particular feature. I will isolate the queries to mirror the idea of each feature map to program constructs as suggested. -- João Paulo L. de Carvalho Ph.D Computer Science | IC-UNICAMP | Campinas , SP - Brazil Postdoctoral Research Fellow | University of Alberta | Edmonton, AB - Canada joao.carvalho@ic.unicamp.br joao.carvalho@ualberta.ca
