Description
rust-analyzer version: 0.3.1807-standalone (9d8889cdf 2024-01-11)
rustc version: 1.75.0 (82e1608df 2023-12-21)
Syntax highlighting looks like this:
Unreadable and ugly. The attribute start #[ and the angle bracket < and > need to be recognised as being brackets.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported highlighting in VSCode with rust-analyzer 0.3.1807-standalone and Rust 1.75.0, using the screenshot as reference. Trace how #[ and angle brackets are classified; done means both render as brackets without making the surrounding syntax unreadable.
