[powershell] `configuration` and `node` keywords aren't highlighted

[pcgeek86]

On Mac OS X, the configuration keyword isn't being syntax highlighted for the PowerShell language. Is this an easy fix?

Same goes for node keyword.

This would be a great contribution! Would you like to give it a try and submit a PR?

@joaomoreno I don't think I'll be very efficient at fixing it, since I'm not on the dev team. It would take me quite a while to research the specifics about implementing syntax highlighting for VS Code, and then track down the problem.

My guess is that the problem lies somewhere here: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/blob/master/extensions/powershell/syntaxes/PowershellSyntax.tmLanguage#L525

Interesting. From your code snippet, it appears that configuration is indeed captured but the theme somehow is not colouring it. Is there any editor theme that colors it? You can toggle between them using the F1, Change Theme action.

I talked to Keith Hill on Skype this morning, and he pointed out that this bug is resolved in an alpha build, that I don't currently have access to. I'll close this ticket unless things change after the February release.

@joaomoreno Actually, you were right. I just tested out changing the theme, and sure enough, it is colored. I never changed the them from the default (didn't even know this was available), so maybe the theme needs to be updated? Re-opening issue.

Despite the naming, my "default" theme was actually Dark Visual Studio, and not the Dark+ (default dark) theme.

Awesome. @aeschli, what can be done about this?
