{
'comment': 'Miscellaneous operator'
'name': 'keyword.operator.misc.rust'
'match': '(=>|::|\bas\b)' <---- and here
}`
As far as I could understand 'as' is a reserved keyword (i.e. you can't declare a variable with that name) and it's sort of an operator, although operators are usually applied to values and not types.
Anyway, I suppose that causes highlighting to mistake slightly, since the second appearence doesn't "count".
I'd say that we should mark as as an operator (since it seems more specific than being a keyword). Sublime grammar seems to recognize it as an operator as well ;)
Not sure if it's a problem at all but still. 'as' is mentioned twice - as a keyword and as an operator:
