When casting a value and performing a less than check straight after, it breaks all following syntax highlighting.

vs

• VSCode Version: 1.26.1
• OS Version: macOS High Sierra 10.13.6

Steps to Reproduce:

// Correct colors.
function doesSomething(value: number) {
  if (value as number > 10) {
    return "huh"
  } else {
    return null;
  }
}
// Wrong colors.
function doesSomething2(value: number) {
  if (value as number < 10) {
    return "huh"
  } else {
    return null;
  }
}
