Stable symbol / type?

[nipafx]

Hi! First of all, thank you for this project - I struggled to find Java libraries with which I can highlight source code, but it's a breeze to build one with Tree-sitter. 💙🧡

To identify, e.g., keywords I need to know for each TSNode what it wraps. I started working off of getSymbol but I noticed that some very new (almost-)keywords like yield (symbol 84) intermingle with old ones, e.g. return (symbol 83). That made me think that these symbols aren't stable across Tree-sitter versions. Is that correct? If so, should I work off of getType or is there a better way to get that info?

It's better to use TSNode#getType() in my opinion. It's stable and and matches the name in the s-expression.

Thanks for the answer, will do that. :)
