[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
> Maybe we can introduce (@ NAME) as alternative syntax?

Here is a proof-of-concept (missing tests and documentation), but it works and I think it's a definite improvement.

Maybe we can get a blessing from Yuan Fu. To recap, this permits the syntax (@ symbol-name) as an alternative to @symbol-name in treesit queries because that allows symbol searching to match the symbol-name, and this can be really helpful.
