Private and Protected patterns question

[PinewoodPip]

In my codebase, the convention is to prefix private fields with _ (single underscore) and protected fields with __ (two underscores).

I would like to get the VSCode extension to be able to recognize this, but I'm having trouble setting up the Lua.doc.privateName and Lua.doc.protectedName settings for this to work properly.

Using simply _* for private and __* for protected does not work as the private setting pattern is checked first, meaning a field like __myProtectedField is considered private.

Looking at the source I see there's some wrapper script for LPEG being used for the pattern matching - sadly I don't have any experience with it.

Is there anything I could do to get these settings working right for my use case? I know it's possible to explicitly annotate fields as private/protected, however I'd like to avoid having to do this manually for all existing classes.

I did figure it out using the Range rule in the grammar in glob.lua:
