gedit highlighting class in js

[Michal Grňo]

According to this post, the word class can be used as an object property name in JavaScript:

But in Gedit, the class keyword is red everywhere in the document. That's quite annoying.

class = "xyz"; //This is wrong, is highlighted
foo.class = "xyz"; //This is right but is also highlighted

Would you fix it, please?

Workaround is to edit javascript.lang for example in Ubuntu 13.04:

/usr/share/gtksourceview-2.0/language-specs/javascript.lang

Comment out the "class" keyword in the "future-words" section:
    <context id="future-words" style-ref="future-words">
      <!-- <keyword>class</keyword> -->

This issue comes up when working with jQuery, for example:
$div = $('<div>', {class:'foo'});

Same problem also occurs in gtksourceview3
