Question about `support` scope (vs `constant` scope): Is it plan to explicit make a differentiation between the both? #65

Hello GitHub [light|dark] syntax theme generator,

From:

qjebbs/vscode-plantuml#428
github/linguist#5530

We have a question:

Is it plan to explicit differentiate support scope colour from constant scope colour?

TextMate scope(s)	CSS class	github-light colour	github-dark colour
`constant`	.pl.c1	`#005cc5`	`#c8e1ff`
`support.class` or `support`	.pl-c1	`#005cc5`	`#c8e1ff`

Regards.

I wouldn't count on it. GitHub's syntax highlighting uses an extremely rudimentary colour palette compared to the richness of TextMate themes. This appears to be a design decision more than a technical limitation.

Moreover, the exact scope-colours are subject to change depending on the whims of GitHub's design team. FYI, you can see a full list of scopes with their current colours here.
