Research direction

The issue does not name a file or test. Locate the TextMate grammar rules that assign scopes to JSDoc tags, then inspect the handling of @import and @template default values. Done means those elements receive appropriate scopes for customizable syntax highlighting.

Description

It's currently possible to customize the color of the JSDoc comments using textMateRules. However, some elements don't have the proper scope, such as the new @import tag and default value of @template:

It would be nice if the scopes could be updated for these elements.
