Research direction

The issue requests Terraform/HCL language support and syntax highlighting in CodeEditLanguages; start by inspecting the repository's existing Swift language-parser integrations and how other configuration languages are registered. Done means Terraform files are recognized and highlighted consistently with the project's existing language support; no specific files or tests are named in the issue.

Description

enhancement
Description

I would like to request the addition of syntax highlighting and language support for Terraform files, which use the HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL). This will help users working with Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) in Terraform to have better editing features in CodeEdit.
