Description

Moved from https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/117388

Cloned this repo - https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia
Opened https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/3230aef393d23a75d6ad5793ca4ca2f8feb62f65/base/array.jl#L5
Looks like there is a documentation syntax with """ and I am wondering whether this should be coloured as comments
