Awesome!

I should add some way to distinguish between languages in feature name list. 
The tricky part is to make it backward compatible and not too confusing and 
still convenient to use.

No no, you should use the host langauge’s parser (bison) and see if point is in 
an undelimited_code_block, and return c or bison accordingly. I’m highlight 
this in the docstring, thanks.

For now, you can use something like

(mapcar (lambda (rule)
             (list (nth 0 rule)
                   (nth 1 rule)
                   (intern (format "js-%s" (nth 2 rule)))
                   (nth 3 rule)))
           js--treesit-font-lock-settings)

to add prefix to c-ts-mode’s font-lock rules’ features.

Thanks, I fixed that on master. And c-ts-mode’s feature list is a separate 
variable now.
