Description
Currently, extensions have an odd way of dimming or coloring inactive code. They add non-standard a CSS class and the class dims the code. The opacity and colors are configured in the extension settings instead of in the standard place for colors in VS Code: tokenColorCustomizations: textMateRules.
// Here's what this may look like in VS Code if the user wants to configure it.
"editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
"textMateRules": [
{
"scope": "inactive",
"settings": {
"opacity": 0.5
}
}
]
},
Here are some example of how this works already.

Research direction
Start by comparing the inactive-code handling in the linked vscode.typescript-language-features and ms-vscode.cpptools examples. Then identify the language-server-protocol location where a token or symbol for inactive code would belong; done means extensions can represent inactive code through the standard tokenColorCustomizations textMateRules configuration.
