+  if (HB.inDefaultLibrary(D->getLocation()))
+    return HighlightingModifier::DefaultLibrary;
   const DeclContext *DC = D->getDeclContext();

> I don't use semantic highlighting enough to judge whether it is more useful to say `DefaultLibrary` than `{Class,Function}Scope`. (i.e. having the check here vs at the end of the function as a fallback). Can you provide some rationale about the decision (probably as comments in code)?

I am just worried that this is very obj-c specific and won't really generalize to c/c++. As most of the system headers only provide platform specific structs (e.g. posix) and they are almost never extended. So it might be confusing for user to see different colors on some memberexprs.
I think default-library isn't a scope modifier at all, it should be independent.

e.g. std::string is defaultlLibrary | globalScope, while std::string::push_back() is defaultLibrary | classScope.


================
Comment at: clang-tools-extra/clangd/SemanticHighlighting.cpp:465
+llvm::Optional<HighlightingModifier>
+scopeModifier(const Type *T, const HighlightingsBuilder &HB) {
   if (!T)
----------------
I'm confused about the interface change - looks like the new parameter never actually used, just passed around


================
Comment at: clang-tools-extra/clangd/SemanticHighlighting.h:75
   GlobalScope,
+  DefaultLibrary,
 
----------------
This isn't a scope modifier so shouldn't be grouped with them
