Luau syntax additions

[scfmod]

I've enabled some of the nonstandardSymbol in order to get continue statement and most of the operators working, but was wondering if you could add support for some of the following:

• "..=" operator
• "//" operator (seems to be interpreted as a comment when adding it to nonstandardSymbol)
• Better string interpolation. Using backticks work, but no auto-completion/variable is marked as unused.
• If-then-else expressions
• Number literals (local x = 1_048_576)

This is not a petition to support Luau fully, especially the type system considering it's a pain to use. It works fine with a mixed code base (Lua with some new features from Luau compiler) using the nonstandardSymbol options, just would be nice with some additions :-)

Based on the current maintenance status, we will not provide support for these features unless you implement them yourself. Additionally, Luau has a dedicated language server, luau-lsp.

Thank for replying! I've implemented one of the operators locally, but it's not that important really :-) The language server already works good using existing nonstandardSymbol options.
luau-lsp is unfortunately not an option as it's not nowhere near the functionality and quality, plus it does not support the annotations which are miles ahead of the Luau type system.

It sounds a bit sad, but neither I nor sumneko have any experience with Luau, so we can't provide the correct support. If one day in the future I decide to support Luau, I will try to notify you. If you are willing to put more effort into supporting Luau and are willing to work on my Rust project, I can create a branch for you to maintain its syntax support.
