Surely after `<@` you have a generic expression, but I think it would
be still more logical when it comes to syntax highlighting to show
that expression with the same color as other tag names. At least as
far as it's just a simple dotted name.

In the case of the Eclipse plugin it was proven to be very useful to
be able to replace freemarker.jar. I'm not sure if it can be made
possible technically in this case. Like you are saying that you are
using FTL.jj. So you re-JavaCC it for some reason? Can't the plugin
just use FMParserTokenManager for example?

BTW, if you are using the real parser, maybe you aren't far from
syntax highlight inside FTL expressions.
