Syntax highlighting in REPL

[kchousos]

Would it be possible to add syntax highlighting for the REPL in VSCode's terminal? Emacs' racket-mode has a similar feature.

At the moment, I don't believe it's possible to do this in VS Code, as the terminal's appearance does not make use of syntax highlighting. Unlike Emacs, the VS Code terminal is not "just another buffer", but rather a very different animal with it's own architecture.

If you encounter some other VS Code language integration that manages to achieve this, please let us know, and we can investigate how they've achieved it.

Understandable. Thank you for your efforts in this plugin, they are much appreciated!
