Research direction

Start by reviewing the Python syntax-highlighting grammar and any tests covering constant.language tokens. Confirm how True and False are currently classified, then make their scopes independently colorable and verify that both boolean values receive distinct highlighting scopes.

Description

This feature request was originally from @eavelardev in https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/180663
