Description

Stems from PR: https://github.com/highlightjs/highlight.js/pull/2020

See the related discussion there.

I'd prefer a separate mode, something like

So someone has to repeat that within every scope in the syntax file, yes? So if KEYWORDS is used 10 times, then they'd need to add that rule to all 50 place also, correct?

It'd be really nice to find a solution to this without a separate mode. This needs a little more though IMHO to see if that's possible before just breaking down and doing that.
