Highlight the current scope feature

[pi1ot]

example:

... // out of scope, dimmed
function updateIfEnabled(textEditor: vscode.TextEditor) { // out of scope, dimmed
    if (enabled) { // current scope beginning
        ... // current scope, highlight 
        setDecorations(textEditor);  // current scope, highlight
        ... // current scope, highlight 
    } // current scope endding
} // out of scope, dimmed
...  // out of scope, dimmed

Dimming only all the outer scopes would be perfect.

Highlight the current scope and dim everything else.

This was the first thing I thought of. Highlighting between opening/closing brackets depending on where the cursor position is would be cool.

i saw this extension on twitter and thought this was what it did, and was excited. i found out it was not, and lost interest. would likely use this if this feature were available.

There's a fork of this extension that does exactly that
