This PR addresses a syntax highlighting issue in Level 2.
Previously, if an exclamation mark followed a variable, it was still considered valid, but the syntax highlighter did not reflect this correctly.
For instance, in the command:
name is Hedy print name is name
The keyword name was highlighted in blue in all occurrences. However, if an exclamation mark was added to the end of the command:
name is Hedy print name is name!
The keyword name was only highlighted in blue in the first occurrence.
To resolve this issue, I have introduced a SpecialChar token to the grammar file.
This token includes an exclamation mark (!), question mark (?), and period (.) characters.
With this change, the syntax highlighter correctly recognizes and highlights the variable name even when a special character follows it.
Fixes #5089
