Face for end keyword

[kauesena]

It would be nice to have a special face of the end keyword. One may wish to give it a discreet colour so that the end's become more inconspicuous.

Technically it is feasible, but I guess most people prefer to have it match the openings begin, for, while, function, struct, etc.

I believe you are right. I think the majority would keep them with matching colors.

But possibly users coming from Python and whose theme uses a showy color for keywords would like to partially hide the ends. If one uses visual guides for indentation, such as those provided by the minor mode highlight indent guides, one may colour the end keywords as the guides.
Or even one could go unorthodox, keep a sequence of end's in one line in a lisp fashion. I do think, however, a begin without a clearly matching end may be a bit weird, "begins and never ends".

Similarly to my comment in the other issue, I have no objections to this in principle (we can always inherit a default from another face so existing setups are unaffected), but I would suggest waiting a bit for comments.

Regarding this issue, besides asking about the possibility of implementing such a face now that some time has elapsed, I'd just like to add this fact I came across: atom already dims the end's by default and the vscode Julia extension defines a face specifically for the end keyword. I mention that to imply it does not seem to be odd to have such a face for Julia, even though I'd guess most Emacs users would still prefer the end keyword to be as clearly visible as the opening keywords such as begin and while.

A PR is welcome, but please default to current behavior.

[kauesena]

I'll make sure the current behaviour is the default one!

I saw using to tree-sitter is being considered. That would refine font-locking, right? Should I hold back?

[tpapp]

Possibly, but we have no timeframe on #174.
