Highlighting for strings with "$(...)" is inconsistent #106
Description
Moved from SublimeText/PowerShell#66
Environment
- Editor and Version (VS Code, Atom, Sublime): Sublime
- Your primary theme: Default
Issue Description
$(...) inside a string is an expression interpolation.
Ideally it should be highlighted exectly the same way as it's highlighted when put outside of the string context.
I'm not sure it's possible to achive with regex grammar.
Screenshots
Sublime -- difference between interpolated and non-interpolated
Expected Behavior
PowerShell_ISE -- both are the same
Code Samples
"blablabla $(invoke-foo baz $a.bar) blablabla"
invoke-foo baz $a.bar

This would be easier with .sublime-syntax but I'll see what we can do within .tmLanguage.

Yeah, sublime-syntax is more powerful then tmLanguage, but the benefits of having a common EditorSyntax (that we finally got) outweigh the benefits of more expressive grammar rules.

It shows the static methods referenced in the first couple lines are colored wrong. Didn't realize it right away, as everything else looks pretty consistent.
