Been working on standardizing the embedded scopes for a while now
as well as adding a long needed whitespace scope. Need some
feedback on both:
punctuation.whitespace: For use when you need to extend a scope to
the beginning or end of a line without extending the actual scope
to it. For instance a series of indented comments, the space before
# on each line shouldn't be a comment but that means you can't
target a command at the whole set of them. By specifying a
whitespace rule you can use both to do so without messing up the
scoping. Also useful for when you have embedded blocks (say for
instance <script> tags, we currently extend the source.js to the
edge, which of course isn't correct but styles better). This
wouldn't be for every situation, only those where it makes sense
and be helpful.
Embedded scopes: I've drawn up a list of examples that outline each
type of embedded scope I could think of. Will require some theme
changes but should make everything work more consistently.

Also added a new meta.tag.template.* sub-scope in some of the above
examples. It's used in template languages where the tags themselves
do something other than simply embed another language. For instance
it's not for PHP or erb, but would be for Mason and Movable Type.
(See above examples)
Hopefully it's not all that confusing, was the best way I could
think of to visualize it all.
Looks great.
I'm already using whitespace scopes in a number of my languages for
theaming up the different tab levels visually.

One thing that I'd like to see done is scoping a single line ERB
block and a multi-line ERB block as such, so you can style them
differently.
Also scoping the different types of embedded tags differently <% %>, <
%= %>, etc…
I'm already doing that in my personal Rails HTML syntax.
