Describe the Bug

Are there plans to support syntax highlighting/texmate scopes? Having these visual clues is very helpful for developers.

There should be basic syntax highlighting right now (python keywords are colored, strings are colored, etc), but we are still working on semantic tokens (different types of bindings have different colors).

If it's not working at all (all text is the same color), let us know since that is an issue.

I would like to say thanks to all Pyrefly developers, but also I would like to add my humble thumbs up to this feature request. IMHO, none of Pyrefly’s benefits compensate for the lack of readability and clearness that different colors give us. Here is just a short side-by-side comparison - everything is too white.

@BenMawnMahlauNBTC @am1ter if you are using VSCode, you should have semantic highlighting now. @SamChou19815 added support in Pyrefly's latest release. If you get a chance to try it, we'd love to know what you think.
