Description Mickael Istria CLA 2016-06-14 11:15:11 EDT 
There are multiple strategies to contribute coloration, some can rely on an internal parser, some can rely on TextMate grammars, some on language servers.

It would be great if we could easily contribute some strategies to the Text Editor without having to subclass it.
Such strategies should most likely support asynchronous computation of coloration.
