Research direction

Start with the TypeScript/JavaScript grammar and compare the linked Prism regexp example. Done means member-invoked functions receive the entity.name.function.method scope while ordinary function calls retain entity.name.function, without relying on semantic colorization.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

TS and JS Grammar Extension version: 0.0.50 / latest

Similar to #700 but this should be possible without semantic colorization. Check if the function invocation was preceded by .

Example regexp implementation here: https://github.com/RunDevelopment/prism/blob/0685d641b000ff0ee5429001cdd439f2e05be882/components/prism-js-extras.js
