Feature Request: Semantic highlighting for members of types

[jpernst]

When editing C# code with monodevelop, the semantic highlighting option allows special coloring of the declaration and usage of fields and methods. I think this would significantly improve the readability of D code to have mono-d provide similar functionality and use the "User Field/Method/Property" colors defined in the syntax highlighting color scheme as appropriate.

It sounds like semantic highlighting has been discussed before, but I wasn't sure if this particular case was part of the plan or not. In any case, it's great to see mono-d continuing to improve; thanks!

Well, it's rather time-expensive to evaluate each small expression out there in a code file in order to get method/fields and other property stuff highlighted. I of course could do some 'static' method identifier highlighting although you wouldn't know whether if the method is really existing. D is not C# - there's much more semantics in D code than in c#'s. :-P
