Research direction

Open an Elixir file in Visual Studio Code and inspect how identifiers beginning with @ are currently colored. Compare them with this in JavaScript and self in Ruby, then verify that module attributes use the intended matching color when the change is complete.

It's all the identifiers that start with @. They should have the same color as this (in JS) and self in Ruby, I think.

Thanks!
