Description
### 👓 What did you see?
Once the extension is initialised (by opening any `.feature` file), the syntax highlighting is present in all other files.
I originally noticed this because ```#[given(regex = r"^I request `(/\w+)`$")]``` line became comment-style (grey color and italic)
I then bisected my extensions to confirm this happens only when Cucumber is enabled. And then I tried just pasting the `Feature` section in some arbitrary file's multiline comment:
---
`>Developer: Inspect Editor Tokens and Scopes` Before and after extension initialization:
| before | after |
|--------|--------|
| |
|
### ✅ What did you expect to see?
The gherkin-specific syntax highlighting should only be applied in `.feature` files.

### 🔬 How could we reproduce it?
I guess just open any file and try making a multi-line comment with gherkin syntax in it.
### 📚 Any additional context?
This is mostly a concern of the [cucumber/language-service](https://github.com/cucumber/language-service) repo, right?
