Description
I’d like this because I think it would be nice to dim these elements, as the actual identifier/content they delimit is more important.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating rust-analyzer’s semantic-token handling for string literals, character literals, and lifetimes, then trace how token types are declared and emitted. Done means these quoted or delimited elements can use a separate semantic token type.
