Research direction

Start by locating the Python tokenization rules used by this syntax highlighter and compare the handling of the match/case example in the issue with existing keyword rules. Done means match and case receive appropriate syntax highlighting in the supported editors, without changing unrelated Python highlighting.

Description

Originally from @SNvMK in https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/120734

So, in python 3.10, there is match/case syntax. Currently, it is just white words(for monokai). I'd like if you add highlight for this. Thanks

a = 'world'
match a:
    case 'world':
        print('Hello!')
    case _:
        print('I dont know you!')

Currently the match and case are only tokenized as source.python.
