Don't mind the noise, just had to close + re-open this PR so that I could trigger the workflows.

But now we know there's a failing build 😄

Cleanly separates out the Elements Compiler languages from their official counterparts

Can you please elaborate on this? Generally we don't merge new languages into core, but maybe there is an exception here IF they already existed but under different names. I need to understand the full story here to understand how to judge this.

Sure! Elements is a compiler family from RemObjects since 2005: Oxygene (Object Pascal) plus dialects of C# (Hydrogene), Java (Iodine), Go (Gold), VB.NET (Mercury) and Swift (Silver) same official syntax.

Oxygene has been in core since 2013 and we have maintained it since. The other dialects never had their own grammars in our fork their extra keywords were historically patched straight into the base csharp/vbnet/swift grammars (that's what the older commits here are).

The recent commits undo that mixing: the dialects became standalone grammars (hydrogene, iodine, gold, vbmercury), and the base grammars were brought back in line with upstream. What's left in official grammars is genuine fixes (e.g. real C# keywords like field and __arglist, plus a small swift keyword bugfix).
