JavaScript Syntax Highlighter Broke

[ephf]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No

• VS Code Version: 1.59.1
• OS Version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.19043

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Make a JavaScript File
2. type in: for (const req of /require *\\( *["'\](.+?)["'`] *\)/.exec(fileCode).slice(1)) {}`
3. some things in the brakets will be highlighted incorrectly

This is actually a syntax highlighting issue:

// Works
const r = /te'st/.exec('test');

// Broken
for (const req of /te'st/.exec('test')) {
}

Bracket pair colorization makes use of the syntax highlighting tokens. Because they are broken, bracket pair colorization is broken too.

Well yeah, I said that it was a Syntax Highlighter Issue.
