CONTRIBUTE INFO.md

Here's a section of information for contributing to the extension. This is probably just going to be notes to myself.

TODO

• Figure out the function.operator inside function.math issue
• Set an Expressions theme to highlite alphanumerics (assumed to be user defined expressions)
• Add numeric section (check to see if there are math operators, then highlite numbers)
• Look up "citern" and add similar constants to a new selection. Probably keep with constants
• Make Selections of the options be able to cross lines
• Make expressions in Flow section be correct
