[feature request] regex pattern in keywords

[theGiallo]

I would really powerful to have regex not only in a single string but on every keyword. E.g. I use NOTE(username): stuff or TODO(username,date): stuff.

multiple regex make the extension much more complex, witch I think it's already been complex than the original purpose when I made this extension :(.
however, you request can do be met with the working one option todohighlight.keywordsPattern.

If I'm not mistaken that option gets me a single color. I'd like many colors.

A problem I have with the keywords is that they are not matched as "whole word". E.g. "NOTE" is matched in "NOTEPAD".

@wayou Is this still supported, or has it since been removed? I can't seem to make it work using the examples in that commit. Using "pattern" doesn't seem to work. I need to be able to specify a boundary for individual keywords. Using a single keywordsPattern is not suitable.

This doesn't work.

@adamreisnz I'm afraid the \b won't work, see #50 (comment)
