[Feature request] IntelliJ plugin

[PawelLipski]

Currently while using better-strings I can see the support is missing for at least two reasons:

• more obvious: no highlighting of interpolated strings
• less obvious: private methods/local vars etc. are incorrectly marked as unused if they're only ever used from within interpolated strings

oh yeah!
I agree with you, the IntelliJ IDEA plugin is mandatory to comfortable using this tool.

I'll try to find time to do it.
Unfortunately, I have not enough experience in writing InteliJIdea plugins.
I will be glad any helps.

@PawelLipski thank you very much for the feedback!

@antkorwin I think you can use our work in http://github.com/VirtusLab/git-machete-intellij-plugin/ as a general plugin template... although TTBT that's a different type of plugin. It only deals with git history, taking no interest in source code at all as opposed to your use case; also, ours has/is going to have quite complex UI, while yours would likely require none.

Btw I think once the basic IntelliJ support is ready, I can spread the word of this project in our company (https://github.com/VirtusLab), we've got quite a few Java devs
