Description

Version: 1.37.1
Commit: f06011ac164ae4dc8e753a3fe7f9549844d15e35

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. create a file, copy the following code and paste it. select javascript mode
function func1(word1) {
  return word1;
};

func1("hello world");
  1. Inspect TM scopes

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

brackets are punctuation when define function

brackets are meta when call the function

I test this basic code in other languages like golang, ruby. brackets are always punctuation instead of meta.

Should JS function bracket be meta instead of punctuation when calling the function?
