Thanks, just to confirm: if you want the users to see nice colors out of the box (no matter what theme they use) without needing to customizing anything in their settings, then you'd have to utilize common scopes like variables / functions / errors in a hacky way, correct?

Yes. What I did is try to choose default (common) scopes that have a high chance of being coloured the way I want, e.g. for the `[x]` token I use `markup.inserted` which is for markup diffs, so it should be green. Or `markup.underline` for the headlines. But the options are pretty limited.
