Thank you for your efforts, Jeff!

I've noticed that plain scalars within flow collections are highlighted, 
but those outside [] or {} are not.  This is because for 
'plain-scalar-in-flow-context', the class Name.Variable is used while 
'plain-scalar-in-block-context' still uses Literal.Scalar.Plain.  Also 
escape codes got highlighted with String.Escape, but escape characters 
didn't.

Personally, I'll prefer to have all scalar text not to be highlighted at 
all.  Instead it would be most useful if the punctuation marks 
(indicators) are highlighted so that the document structure is emphasized.


Thanks,
Kirill
