Scheme language support (R7RS+/#F) for TextMate-based editors (Sublime, VS Code, ...)

Colorizer (scheme.tmLanguage)

Mostly follows R7RS syntax definitions, with some extensions:

• additional definition and syntax keywords from earlier standards and #F
• support for #& box syntax

Known colorizer problems (most probably cannot be easily fixed):

• colorizer gets confused by datum prefixes such as ` ' , ,@ #& if the datum that follows is separated by newlines or comments
• definition coloring can be easily fooled by newlines and/or comments in the first two sub-forms
• #; comments use relaxed grammar and may be colored incorrectly in some corner cases
• coloring of backquoted expressions is not very robust; it fails if double-nested (e.g.`(a `(b ,,c ',,d) e)) or if full forms like (unquote x) are used. Reasonable forms from real code are colored reasonably well.
• generally, grammar is relaxed in many places, so some syntax errors won't look like errors (e.g. cons dot can be misplaced).

Color Theme (schemeLight.tmTheme)

Derived from Visual Studio Light theme, with the following modifications:

• more subdued colors
• context-sensitive coloring of character escapes ("in string" vs. |in symbol| vs. standalone)
• #f and #t colored differently (red/green)
• introduced definitions are shown in bold
