Hei, Tor!

I see no reason not to support this in Emacs.  I do not know or use GAP
myself, but I'd be happy to review a patch adding it.  If you want to
make an attempt, I'd suggest to look at some of the simpler tree sitter
modes, such as java-ts-mode.el, and go from there.  The grammar file is
only ~350 lines, so I suspect support for it will only run in at less
than half the size of java-ts-mode.el :-)
