An incremental parsing system for programming tools

Recently I've been pulling a lot of grammars into GitHub's highlighting backend, replacing legacy language support with tree-sitter highlighting queries. Our backend systems have a standard set of highlight captures we expect, very similar to the standard tagging captures we expect. Though end-user applications are free to choose whatever tagging nomenclature they want, I think it's nice to include a checking stage that will help us ensure that we know whether a capture might be recognized or not. It will also help us figure out where we need to expand our standard set of captures (see #1539). |

tree-sitter
Tree-sitter is a parser generator tool and an incremental parsing library. It can build a concrete syntax tree for a source file and efficiently update the syntax tree as the source file is edited. Tree-sitter aims to be:
- General enough to parse any programming language
- Fast enough to parse on every keystroke in a text editor
- Robust enough to provide useful results even in the presence of syntax errors
- Dependency-free so that the runtime library (which is written in pure C) can be embedded in any application
