Swift lexer is treating macros as preprocessor comments

Code sample

@Test func foo() async throws {
    #expect(1 == 1)
    // this is a comment
}

Should this be a different token? If so, what, and how should it be distinguished?

[nobbele]

the issue is mostly that monokai uses the same color for both, and that it marks the whole statement, i.e looking identical to a comment, and # is a common comment start so it's misleading for people who don't know the language entirely (speaking from experience earlier today)

idk if like rust use some other color for macro_rules, but at least the stuff inside the parenthesis should be highlighted as normal right?

I can give this a proper thought some time later.

For sure, if you've got a syntax description of what tokens are allowed in the parentheses we could potentially lex inside them.
