Bracket and wikilink forms of wildcard_references
( `*.rq".idea_*`, `label` ) must TextMate-scope as
`meta.link.reqlan` with the path as `string.other.link.reqlan` — never as
`comment.block.reqlan`. The grey " comment " paint happened when `#bracket-references` only
allowed ID suffixes, so `/*` inside an unmatched path opened a block comment.
Fixes: TextMate `#bracket-references` / wiki path patterns accept `WILDCARD_NAME` suffixes;
`#comments` block begin rejects empty slash-star-star-slash; body rules try references before
comments. Semantic tokens paint `WildcardReference.pathPattern` as string and `ideaPattern`
as variable ( syntax_highlighting ).
