Research direction
Reproduce the highlighting problem in VS Code 1.45.1 with MagicPython 1.1.0 using the provided format_map example and compare the two screenshots. Trace how Python format strings handle dictionary keys containing spaces; done means the braces and expressions are highlighted as format syntax rather than as a string.
