Making bracket pair colorization faster

Why use C++ when JS is faster? VSCode proves that. It's orders of magnitude faster than old VS, has more features, uses less resources, etc.

VSCode does not prove that at all. The main reason why it feels faster is because it's written from scratch to be async. VS is a legacy codebase going all the way to 1997 (if not earlier, in places), with lots of code still running on UI thread, and all extensions running in-process.

Let's wait thirty years for the legacy to accrue and then compare weenies, shall we?

Ah, I see. I appreciate the effort but maybe try being subtler, I was almost mad until you overdid it.
