Description
In tmLanguage, we can have meta patterns and so match enum MyEnum as storage.type.enum.pluto and entity.name.type.enum.pluto, which allows for nice syntax highlighting like this:
In Prism.js, it seems to me we are limited to only saying "enum" is a keyword, so it's rather monochromatic:
An equivalent of this sort of thing would be nice.
