Defining a function without the keyword `function` highlights its identifier as unknown/error

[Iskustvo]

Steps to reproduce:

• Start the zsh in new terminal emulator, without any configuration

  termite -e 'zsh -dfi'
  

• Source z-sy-h from where it's installed, and use only main highlighter

  source "/usr/share/zsh/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting/zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh"
  ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_HIGHLIGHTERS=(main)
  

• Compare the highlighting of the function identifier with and without preceding keyword function

Versions:

zsh - 5.9-1
zsh-syntax-highlighting - 0.7.1-1

Fair enough. Why not close this one then?
