Provide an xclangspec file for TypeScript syntax highlighting in Xcode

[jakepetroules]

This is a feature request for the TypeScript team to ship an xclangspec file with the TypeScript sources in order to provide support for syntax highlighting of the language in the Xcode IDE.

Google has done the same for their Go language; see here for an example of the xclangspec file format: https://code.google.com/p/go/source/browse/misc/xcode/go.xclangspec?r=30b0c392132645259e053a2ba8904383a55bab03

If someone is willing to build this file, we would be happy to point to it in the documentation and in typescriptLang.org.

Any news on this one?

Agree – this would be very cool.
