This would be great to have merged. I was reviewing a treesitter implementation for Koka (over at helix-editor/helix#8727), when I noticed that the grammar docs did not align with all of the present features.

Not entirely sure about this, but isn't ref (a few lines down from here) a keyword too rather than a builtin?

Actually it is a built-in identifier. It is also the way to create a mutable reference cell.

Oh right, so it has a different meaning depending on the context. I guess that is not easy to encode in the pygments file, so the identifier was chosen here.

Yeah, it's a tricky one.

What does ctx mean as a keyword?

First class constructor contexts. You can start at section 3 of the paper, if you just want to get the high level idea of it. If you want to read the rest of the paper, and not just section 3 I would start at the beginning.

Interesting. I see it is used only in the dev branch, so I hadn't spotted it before. Shouldn't this keyword also be mentioned in the parser and lexer definitions?

Yeah, I'll have to look at the Haskell parser to see how it is done. It's used both in a type context, and as a keyword in the creation of a constructor context.

Over at https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/pull/8727/files @mtoohey31 noticed that the mod keyword isn't found on the dev or master branches. Where does this keyword come from?

@TimWhiting

I should have checked. For whatever reason I thought Koka had shortened module to mod with all of the other keywords that got shortened. My bad.
