new_line() intrinsic left off a list in VS?

Hi, this is so minor I almost did not report it: I am using VS 18.4.3, on Windows 11 and compiler version IFX 2025.3.3 and the new_line intrinsic is not being highlighted as an intrinsic in the editor window. Has new_line dropped off, or not made it onto, a list somewhere.

OK, I was a bit put out to not get an acknowledgement for this message, so I asked a popular LLM the following "I noticed the Fortran intrinsic new_line() was not being highlighted as an intrinsic in the Visual Studio code editor and it got me wondering if any others had been missed, so here is a challenge for you: please produce for me a complete list of Fortran commands, intrinsics etc (everything that would be a reserved word, if Fortran had reserved words) please group them by broad category, including coarray commands and intrinsics, include everything upto Fortran 2023. it does not have to compile. It is just a check on Fortran-specific editors being able to recognize the 'words'."

I attach what I got back. Open this in VS editor and you will see new_line() is far from alone! Enjoy!

You are correct, there are many cases that are missed. This has been a known for a long time!
