Description

I'd love to see the custom progress bars get applied when the following format is detected-
[...] <- something like 3 "indicators" minimum (1 indicator is still one progress)
[### nice ###] <- must not contain any spaces or letters (unless there are no dots, then no dots instead of no spaces)
- [##...] \ <- A spinner next to it on any side should convert into the Fira spinner

btw, I totally understand if most won't like this because it might put progress bars somewhere where it should not, but tbh, why would anyone use a progress bar-like char order syntax thingy in their comments or code?
