Highlight common types about mono-d HOT 7 OPEN

All these things are aliases and defined in Object.di - but I want to highlight either all types or no types - but anyway, semantic highlighting is planned already.

Do you have an ETA on semantic highlighting? If it's quite a long way ahead, you may want to do what I suggested just as a temporary workaround.

@alexrp ETA? I currently found a way to design resolution things more efficient and faster - hopefully it'll be fast enough to enable speedy semantic highlighting :D

BTW, I still think size_t, sizediff_t, ptrdiff_t, equals_t, and hash_t as well as string, wstring, and dstring should get special treatment and get highlighted as core types. These are practically considered core types, and some of them get special treatment by the compiler.

I see. When type highlighting will be enabled, no type aliases will be resolved - only directly mentioned type references (so no alias MyType mT;
mT myObject; // mT won't be highlighted
but
MyType myObject; // MyType will be highlighted only

Since e.g. size_t is such an alias, it won't be highlighted then - so making them hard-coded core types should be the best solution then, indeed :)

It would be terribly nice, if you after you got some semantic highlighting done, the IDE could yell at you for using e.g. int instead of size_t./sizediff_t and alike.

@apriori I first need to figure out how to do semantic highlighting .. it's been very easy in D-IDE, but since MonoDevelop uses a different editor basis I have to write some kind of converter or something similar first
