Description
This was one of my favorite 'quality of life' improvements in newer Rstudio versions. It'd be wonderful if this could be integrated. Current Rainbow Bracket VSCode extensions do not transfer to Quarto's visual mode (though they do work in source mode!).

Note that "Rainbow Brackets for Visual Studio Code" shows:
This extension is deprecated as this functionality is now built-in to VS Code. Configure these settings to use this functionality.

Research direction
The report concerns Quarto visual mode, while rainbow brackets already work in source mode and VS Code has built-in settings for the functionality. Start by locating the visual-mode editor integration and comparing it with source mode. Done means rainbow brackets appear in visual mode without relying on deprecated extensions.
