;;; Commentary:

;; A major mode for editing GN files. GN stands for Generate Ninja. GN is the
;; meta build system used in Chromium. For more information on GN, see the GN
;; manual: <https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/tools/gn/README.md>

;;; To Do:

;; - We syntax highlight builtin actions, but don't highlight instantiations of
;;   templates. Should we?
