Using autogenerated mark classes in feature code causes syntax error

Glyphs

If I use an auto-generated mark class (e.g. @mark_top) in feature code, I get a syntax error:

(and the features list in edit view get the red exclamation mark).

But exporting the font works fine.

The highlighting code has no access to the code that is generated on export. I can demote this to a warning to make it less frightening.

The main issue is that a error here stops the features list in the edit view from working.

Would second the request for this to not show as an error, if demoting to a warning makes it so that we can still use the features list in the edit view.

Any thoughts on updating this? If it’s possible to have these show as a warning instead of an error that would be super helpful so we can still use the edit view to test features without having to disable the lookup (and, in my case, inevitably forget to re-enable when exporting).
