Highlighting of typecontraints, known variables, methods/properties about typescript.el HOT 4 CLOSED

Yes, that's definitely fair. I would love to be able to give something back, since working with this in concert with tide is a joy.
Can you point me maybe a little in the direction of where to look?

[edit]
nevermind, I see how it is done. I'll start reading up on font-lock and how highlighting is accomplished in general in Emacs modes. Thank you for your comments to far. I'll close for now, and when I have something I'll make a PR.

I don't think typescript-mode can solve this in general. If you do import { x } from "foo", is x a type or a variable? typescript-mode cannot know because it does not have the machinery necessary to load "foo" and check.

On the other hand, it should be possible to have tide (which can figure out what x is in my example above) augment the fontification provided by typescript-mode. Looking quickly at its code I do not see any such case of augmentation now, but in theory, it should be possible.

hmm yes, I can see that makes sense for tokens that need to be inferred. How about though:

• the type assertions in function declaration?
• something ending with parentheses is a function?

I'm sure there are room for improvements. Feel free to issue patches for it.
