Original issue #5024
This fixes a generics angle bracket highlighting. It works for a multichar token like GTGT and GTGTGT. It ignores logic and arithmetic operators. As we need to distinguish between these two cases, java parser is used for this check.
I added also unit tests.
There is a similar commit #8500 but I don't think it can work in this way and there is no other activity since May 2025.
