For Carbon devs using Vim or Neovim, this plugin provides syntax highlighting
for .carbon files found throughout `explorer/testdata`

## Manual Installation

### Vim Users

From the current directory `utils/vim`, please run the following commands to
install the syntax file.

```
mkdir -p ~/.vim/syntax && cp syntax/carbon.vim ~/.vim/syntax/
mkdir -p ~/.vim/ftdetect && cp ftdetect/carbon.vim ~/.vim/ftdetect/
```

### Neovim Users

Instead of copying to the `~/.vim` directory, please use the `~/.config/nvim`
directory, or your custom Neovim root directory.

```
mkdir -p ~/.config/nvim/syntax && cp syntax/carbon.vim ~/.config/nvim/syntax/
mkdir -p ~/.config/nvim/ftdetect && cp ftdetect/carbon.vim ~/.config/nvim/ftdetect/
```
