Subject: MSL Syntax Highlighting Extension for VSCode (Release) 

Hello everyone, 

I just wanted to let you know, that I published a MSL Syntax Highlighting Extension for VSCode.
It is still in a quite early stage, so there might be some missing keywords and edge cases which are not fully handled. So in case you find any issues or have suggestions for improvements, I am happy to implement them. Also I only tested it with a custom theme (One Monokai), so it might look very different with the default theme and other ones.

The extension is called "MSL Syntax Highlighter" and can be found in the extension marketplace in VSCode.  (vscode marketplace: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=LukasMandok.msl-syntax-highlighter, github repo: https://github.com/LukasMandok/msl-syntax-highlighter)

One additional remark:
- To keep a consitent style with existing themes, one is a bit limited in regard to colors. For this reason a distinction betrween LOOP and IF Blocks is not really possible without writing a custom theme. A workaround would be to add the theming in the custom user settings (explained in the readme).
