Description

I would like to update the language definition for PureBASIC:

https://github.com/jgm/skylighting/blob/master/xml/purebasic.xml

Current PureBASIC version is 5.60, and it has new keywords and functions.

I need to ask you a question: Since this file here is intended for code beautifying (and not autocompletion, like in an editor) my idea is to update (and then maintain) the list to contain all keywords and functions from PureBASIC 5.00 up to the latest current release — ie: keep deprecated and renamed tokens too, so that the highlighter will correctly parse old and newer code alike, as long as it's written for any PureBASIC 5.x version (but not for older versions, now lo longer in use).

Would this be in line with Skylight guidelines?
