Math delimiters `\(....\)` are not highlighted as pairs about vscode-latex-basics

Even if it looked a good idea at first sight, I think this is actually a bad idea.

Once delimiters are declared as a pair, we loose complete control of the highlighting, which is automatically handled by VS Code, when editor.bracketPairColorization.enabled is set.

I made an attempt in https://github.com/jlelong/vscode-latex-basics/tree/42_escaped_parens_pair

Note the following inconsistencies

• The pair $ ... $ has the same scope as \(...\)but it is highlighted differently because $...$ is not declared as a bracket pair.
• The color of \(...\) depends on its nesting level.

I think the cons are really out weighting the pros. So, I am closing this issue.

vscode is about to add the option to disable colouring on bracket pairs

@RedCMD Thanks for the link. I will keep an eye on it to see how to best modify our language configuration files.
