Research direction

Start with the linked Godot GDScript basics documentation, then inspect Pygments' existing lexer organization and patterns for Python-like languages. Done means Pygments has a GDScript lexer that recognizes the language's documented syntax and can be exercised through the project's normal lexer tests.
