Rust's async await is not highlighted correctly
Syntax:
async / await in Rust. For example:
async fn foo() {
async_foo().await.await.await;
}
Currently it highlights as following:
It should be highlighting async and await as keywords.
Manually installing RustEnhanced can improve the situation:
I understand this is completely up to upstream (https://github.com/sublimehq/Packages), but given the upstream issue https://github.com/sublimehq/Packages/pull/2305 is hinged. I wonder if it makes sense to have bat bundle https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-enhanced/ directly.
In #906 the same idea was rejected with the reasoning that const generic was not stablized hence the breakage was not considered as a bug. However, async await in Rust have been stabilized for more than a year now. It is surprizing to see bat still can't highlight it correctly. Can we re-consider the decision?
Thanks.
Quick instructions for anyone searching this in the future:
mkdir -p "$(bat --config-dir)/syntaxes"
cd "$(bat --config-dir)/syntaxes"
git clone https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-enhanced.git
bat cache --build

Yes, thanks.
I'm having problems with syntax highlighting too:

So I'd suggest using rust-enhanced instead because it fixes the problem.
