Description
What is the feature you'd like to have?
The tokens that are rendered in HLIL for function call argument names are simple TextTokens. They should have a new TokenType.
Is your feature request related to a problem?
It is impossible to theme them given you cannot uniquely address them.
Are any alternative solutions acceptable?
Could reuse another existing token type but that is kind of gross.

Research direction
Start by locating the InstructionTextTokenType definition and the HLIL rendering entry point for function-call argument names. Confirm how those names are currently emitted as TextTokens, then make the token uniquely themeable and verify that HLIL output exposes the new type.
