Like the syntax highlighter that @aasmune [made for VSCode](https://github.com/UAVCAN/vscode-dsdl), we need someone to [contribute a DSDL lexer definition](http://pygments.org/docs/lexerdevelopment/) to Pygments. Pygments is used by GitHub for syntax highlighting, so once DSDL is supported in Pygments, eventually it should be supported by GitHub.
