Description
Over at https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/issues/4691 there's some discussion (and a screenshot) about highlighting function exit points when the cursor is on the return type in a function signature or on an exit point. It would be nice to be able to extend DocumentHighlightKind to support this.

Done means the protocol change is specified consistently with that discussion and its compatibility implications are documented.
