Description

The upcoming semantic highlighting is missing a way to inform the IDE how variables are connected.
This makes it impossible to color different variables in different colors.
See Intellij's video on how they color different variables/parameters differently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WRH59PQ5Dk
