Description Andrew Eidsness

It would be nice to be able to contribute to the semantic highlighter.  In particular, I would like to add an extension point which would contribute to the array returned by SemanticHighlightings.getSemanticHighlightings.

The wrinkle is that the array has several ordering requirements (currently expressed in comments).  I think that this could be managed by specifying an integer priority in the extension point.

The existing SemanticHighlights would still be hard-coded, but they would be assigned a priority matching the currently specified sort order.
