Parser

Summary

Currently the extension works by leveraging regex to scan for given tokens. This will eventually lead to a headache, and instead should really be implemented properly. We should setup a parser to actually scan a Dictu source code properly, generating tokens and based on this populate the correct things for the extension.

Currently there is no highlighting for annotations attached to classes (and methods in the future when they get implemented into Dictu). It would be good if the plugin picked up the @ symbol and highlighted annotations accordingly.

Hover information

Summary

Currently there is no information when you hover over an implementation or a variable, etc, this is very useful to quickly see information about something without having to leave the context of the editor to something like a documentation website.

Jump to definition

Summary

Currently there is no support to jump to a definition via the use of control (command) + click, this is a very useful feature and would be a great addition

Currently there is no syntax highlighting or autocompletion for the enum keyword. We would add this to the same place we have class, etc defined.
