Description
Hi,
I am using the "|>" symbol heavily in my coding, unfortunately neither the symbol itself nor the function that follows it is highlighted which makes reading the code a bit more difficult.
Generally the syntax of using the "|>" symbol is as following:
"variable |> function". This is equal to "function( variable )", only expressed differently.
It would be really nice if these were colour coded as other function, with a separate colour for the "|>" symbol.
Unfortunately I am not familiar with coding of the colours for the text editor, so I am a bit overwhelmed when looking at the file in the package folder.
Nevertheless, it would be a useful thing tho have.

Research direction
Start by inspecting the package folder's grammar files and the existing rules for functions and operators. Confirm how Julia's |> syntax is represented, then update the highlighting so the symbol and following function are colored; verify the result in Atom, VS Code, or GitHub syntax highlighting.
