Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating how regions are tokenized and how the built-in bracket colorizer recognizes sections; done means regions are emitted as non-comment tokens and highlighted as sections.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Area-IntelliSense Issue-Enhancement

Currently, regions are just treated as comments, and thus the new built-in bracket colorizer fails to recognize them as sections. Changing their tokens to non-comments will allow them to be highlighted as such appropriately.
