Custom grammar extension

[922073]

Describe your Extension idea
A simple editor where you make your own regular expressions to add syntax highlighting to languages that don’t have it yet (Like Zig).

What problem(s) would this Extension solve?
Some languages do not have syntax highlighting, and it may take time before it gets added, so this will allow people to make their own grammar.

Explain what you were trying to do when you came across the problem leading to this Extensions request
I was trying to do some programming in Zig, when I realised that programming without syntax highlighting is terrible. I want to create the syntax highlighting myself, but there is no area for that.

Custom syntax highlighting

It would be nice to have custom syntax highlighting capabilities in an extension, along with being able to map any syntax highlighting to a file extention. Edit I am not suggesting changing what color goes to what type of thing, like classes and functions. Themes do that, I am suggesting that we can make our own syntax parsers, that produce tags the get sent to the theme to be colored. Like a code mirror extention.
