Research direction

The issue names no file, test, or entry point. Start by inspecting how the VS Code extension currently identifies PIO assembly files and contributes syntax highlighting, then determine whether the requested support is absent or intended. Done means PIO assembly files receive appropriate syntax highlighting, with behavior confirmed in VS Code.

Description

enhancement

I'm getting conflicting info online about whether this should be working or not. I have PIO files (assembly for the PIO interfaces) and there is NO syntax highlighting in the file at all. It looks kind of out of place when the rest of the code base has nice coloring. Are assembly files for the PIO supposed to be syntax highlighted or aren't they? It'd be cool if they were.
