vscode/extensions/typescript-basics/syntaxes

The file TypeScript.tmLanguage.json and TypeScriptReact.tmLanguage.json are derived from TypeScript.tmLanguage and TypeScriptReact.tmLanguage.

To update to the latest version:

• cd extensions/typescript and run npm run update-grammars
• don't forget to run the integration tests at ./scripts/test-integration.sh

Migration notes and todos:

• differentiate variable and function declarations from references

  • I suggest we use a new scope segment 'function-call' to signal a function reference, and 'definition' to the declaration. An alternative is to use 'support.function' everywhere.
  • I suggest we use a new scope segment 'definition' to the variable declarations. Haven't yet found a scope for references that other grammars use.

• rename scope to return.type to return-type, which is already used in other grammars

• rename entity.name.class to entity.name.type.class which is used in all other grammars I've seen

• do we really want to have the list of all the 'library' types (Math, Dom...). It adds a lot of size to the grammar, lots of special rules and is not really correct as it depends on the JavaScript runtime which types are present.
