Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported syntax-highlighting behavior in VS Code 1.53.2 with a TypeScript function that has multiple overloads and a default export, then inspect the repository's TypeScript grammar files. Done means the overload declarations receive the intended syntax highlighting rather than all being colored as functions.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Issue Type: Bug

I have a function which is overloaded a few times and I exported it as default. When I do this, the first line of export default function Tstring get's it's syntax highlighting properly. Then the next few lines of those all turn yellow (the color of functions)
