[TxMt] Javascript syntax enhancement

[Aparajita Fishman]

Hi,

I would like to suggest the following enhancement to the Javascript  
syntax:

{    name = 'meta.function.js';
     comment = 'match stuff like: foobar: function() { … }';
     match = '^\s*\b([a-zA-Z_?\.$]+\w*):\s+\b(function)?\s*\((.*?)\)';
     captures =
     {    1 = { name = 'entity.name.function.js'; };
         2 = { name = 'storage.type.function.js'; };
         3 = { name = 'variable.parameter.function.js'; };
     };
},

Since the common style in a lot of Javascript libraries (like  
Prototype/scriptaculous) is to define functions like this:

var Enumerable = {
    each: function(iterator) {
        // body
    },

    all: function(iterator) {
        // body
    }
}

The above rule correctly highlights these definitions and also  
includes their names in the function popup.
