Name: 'Link-Lang Support'
Author: 'Nebania'

Official VSCode syntax highlighting and language support extension for Link-Lang, the custom programming language powering the NebulaOS ecosystem.

Features

Advanced Syntax Highlighting: Accurate colorization for control flow keywords, storage types, built-in functions, constants, numbers (including hex literals), and strings.
Smart Operator Precedence: Clean and error-free operator matching (==, !=, <=, >=, +, -, *, /, =, <, >, and, or).
C++ Interoperability Support: Embedded extern "c" C++ block scope highlighting (source.cpp).
Function Call Highlighting: Automatically detects and highlights user-defined or built-in function calls.
Editor Configuration:
- Line comment support using #.
- Automatic bracket and quote closing with smart context-awareness (won't auto-close inside comments or strings).
- Smart indentation rules for block scopes ({}).
