Nested comments don't syntax highlight properly in WASM Text Format

[samualtnorman]

Summary

It's great that Helix now has out-the-box support for wat_server, but the depended on repository for the WASM Text Format hasn't been maintained in 3 years. There is a 2 year old open pull request on it to fix this bug on that repository but I don't see it being merged any time soon.

Maybe the WAT grammar repo could be forked or for now, the PR's fork could be switched to. I don't exactly know what the best solution there is.

Reproduction Steps

To be fair, you can see above even GitHub gets this wrong.

IMO it's not worth switching until a maintained repo comes about.
