Do you have an enhancement request for that? If not, can you please create one?

There's a family:

If I understood it right, given some 3rd party contribution is there, one would get some basic "syntax" support for C++ (for example) in default editor, without installing dedicated CDT tooling?

Concretely, one of the main adopters we have in mind is a support for textmate grammars. It could be implemented in a way that any of the file which has a grammar associated will have some basic edition feature. Contributing basic editor would be only a matter of adding a grammar to some registry, without writing any code.
