Fix #3862.
Originally, type arguments were part of the regular type expression structure, so the syntax would try to highlight type arguments after any type. But actually, only ordinary named types can get them. In the linked issue, this was causing problems with
as
-style type assertions — when followed by a<
, the type expression was eating it and trying to parse type arguments, even when the preceding type does not accept them.According to the spec — I'm kidding, we all know the drill by now, actually after a bunch of futzing around in AST Explorer — this should work correctly in all cases I can think of.
In order for this to work in all cases, it's necessary to ensure that all specially keyworded types are accounted for, so this PR also adds the
true
andfalse
singleton types.
