Description

Our initial semantic token handling was implemented before it was fully supported in the vscode lsp framework.

https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specifications/lsp/3.17/specification/#textDocument_semanticTokens

Look for implementation examples using:
connection.languages.semanticTokens.on

Research direction

Start by locating the existing semantic token handling in the TypeScript extension and compare it with the LSP 3.17 textDocument/semanticTokens specification. Search for implementation examples using connection.languages.semanticTokens.on; done means the existing handling uses the supported LSP semantic token functionality.
