It would be nice to highlight the types in array creation statements like Int[] the same way they are highlighted with Vector{Int}().
As @pfitzseb mentioned on Slack, simply highlighting everything before [] runs into problems with a[] after a = Ref{Int}(), to which he suggested to highlight only TitleCase.
Pros:
- extra highlighting makes the code easier to read
- consistency with highlighting types elsewhere
Cons:
- it will give a false negative for people who don't use TitleCase for their own types
- it will give a false positive for people who use TitleCase for their variables and use
Ref
Since the Julia manual suggests "modules and type names use capitalization and camel case: module SparseArrays, struct UnitRange." and the next logical step would to use everything but this for variables, one could argue that the cons shouldn't affect too many people.
