Scope variables in expressions #221
Description
Summary
It would be helpful to add a scope to the textmate grammar denoting variable read/write access. For example in typescript, the scope variable.other.readwrite is applied.
Motivation
Currently the only scope given to variable read/write access is source.java, which means users and themes cannot configure the appearance of these accesses in themes.

No, we don't do that currently. Can you give examples when it is useful?

Many themes attempt to control variable colors, and they should be able to work in Java in addition to other languages.

Okay, makes sense. I am a bit snowed under at the moment due to bunch of other open-source work, would appreciate a pull request :).
