Feature request: support syntax highlight for go:embed

[maito1201]

I think there may be a better place to make this suggestion.
If you have a good idea, please let me know.

background

go:embed is released at go 1.16🎉
https://golangtutorial.dev/tips/embed-files-in-go/

I think it is Difficult to distinguish between go:embed and comment, especially if go:embed mistypes.

It works as go:embed.
//go:embed something

It is just a comment.
// go:embed something

Feature request

I want new syntax highlight for go:embed.

For example, When the input content is evaluated as go:embed, the color of highlight will change from green(comment color).

I have no strong opinion about color preferences,
But I think it would be nice if it changed to the same color as reserved word or something.

Currently syntax highlighting is not handled by this extension, but I think gopls can provide a better syntax highlighting near future utilizing the semantic token. @pjweinb @stamblerre What do you think about this feature request?

Another direction I was thinking about was to provide a document link - so users can easily access the source file/directory of the embedded data.

it's plausible to have some special attention for //go:embed (and all the other comments that are sensitive to whitespace). Maybe gopls should warn about an unexpected space.

Thank you for replying!
Certainly go repository seems to develop something to make notification for go:embed like it.
golang/go#43980
If I couldn’t find issue about syntax highlight in gopls github, I will make conversation at gopls .
