Description
Consider the following example:
classdef Account
properties
Balance (1,1) mustBeNumeric
end
end
In this situation, mustBeNumeric is tokenized as a storage.type, but it would be more accurate to tokenize it the same as a function name.

Research direction
Search the MATLAB grammar's rules for property and function validation syntax, then reproduce the Account example to inspect how mustBeNumeric is tokenized. Update the relevant rule so validation functions receive the same token classification as function names, and verify the sample no longer produces storage.type highlighting.
