The vendored grammar lexed the member modifiers as one prec-10 token and
`Sub New` as one prec-100 token. Neither went through keyword extraction,
and both outranked the prec(-1) identifier, so the lexer stopped at the end
of a modifier spelled at the start of a name: `Public SharedCache` indexed a
field `Cache`, `Public Dimension` a field `ension`, `Public Shared Shared1`
was lost to a parse error, and `Sub NewItem()` became a constructor. `Dim`
and `Const` were part of that token, which also kept the local-declaration
`Dim`/`Const` out of keyword extraction, so `ConstVBV.Value = False` and
`ConstructPath()` inside a method parsed as `Const` declarations.
The modifiers and `Sub New` are now plain keywords. The old tokens also
folded a newline into the keyword after it, which two parses relied on by
accident: `Option` lines under a comment banner may now follow newlines, and
upstream's top-level `file_attribute_section` is gone, so attribute lines
above a top-level declaration belong to it. `Protected Friend` and
`Private Protected` are two modifiers now; the extractor reads them as
protected and private.
Rebuilt with tree-sitter-cli 0.25.10 and emscripten 4.0.4. On SCrawler and
staxrip, 3 fields get their whole names, staxrip recovers one method, and
every other graph difference is an `imports` edge or a node start now on its
own line instead of the comment line above.

Vendored patched govindbanura/tree-sitter-vbnet grammar (MIT, ~20-fix patch
+ new external scanner for XML literals and multi-line LINQ continuation;
provenance + rebuild instructions in docs/grammars/tree-sitter-vbnet.md),
vbnet extractor with VB-specific call/index disambiguation, Inherits/
Implements heritage, As New instantiation, events, Declare P/Invoke, and
MustOverride abstract members.
Parse health on five real repos: PolicyPlus 100%, CompactGUI 100%,
staxrip 95.2%, SCrawler 87.2%, PCL 87.5% (upstream grammar: 3-18%).
Retrieval A/B (sonnet): 26-43% faster with 0-5 file reads vs 7-20 without.
