I don't mind, would you like to Tal? (I probably won't be able to dedicate any serious time to it until mid-June). One thing I've been thinking is whether it's worth us highlighting regardless of context. For example, you can assign a variable to a builtin name (not that it's recommended) so we could just give soft keywords their own colour and (unofficially) recommend people don't use such words for variables.

I think this would be more future-proof as we wouldn't need to update the regexes for each new soft keyword added. However, we might not want to highlight every time the user has an '_' variable (as is fairly common).
