This ist actually a syntactical difference. Both are syntactically just selector expressions.
So you'd need *semantic* highlighting, which not a lot of highlighters do. One reason is performance and another is that it means highlighting might fail for incorrectly typed (but syntactically valid) programs. And if one does, you can tell the difference between literally anything (on a type level) - if you are willing to rely on highlighting to tell the difference between an import and a variable, you can also use it to differentiate between, say, an interface and a concretely typed variable. Or an int and a float type. Or whatever. So in the context of the question, this strikes me as a pretty unhelpful response. Yes obviously you can use a tool to *tell* you the difference by performing a type check. But obviously the question was about a syntactical way to do so.
