> best effort approach to parsing. This is perfectly fine for syntax highlighting, since the worst that can happen is that a few characters are highlighted incorrectly. However, when diffing or modifying code you really want the code to be parsed according to the upstream grammar, not something that mostly resembles it.
But surely you need to support code that doesn't parse correctly by the actual language's grammar anyway? 'Merge branch fix-syntax-error'
