VS Code: Is it possible to specify a token color customization that requires multiple scopes at once?

Question

VS Code allows users to customize syntax highlighting colors for specific syntax in settings.json. The most flexible way to do this is using the "textMateRules" property, which is formatted something like this:

"editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
  "textMateRules": [{
    "scope": ["keyword.other", "keyword.control"],
    "settings": {
      "foreground": "#FF0000",
      "fontStyle": "bold"
    }
  }]
}

The problem with the above snippet is that it applies the selected styles to either keyword.other OR keyword.control scopes. Is it possible to devise a textMateRules configuration that requires the keyword.other AND the keyword.control scopes?

Use this form:

"editor.tokenColorCustomizations": {
  "textMateRules": [{
    "scope": "keyword.other keyword.control",
    "settings": {
      "foreground": "#FF0000",
      "fontStyle": "bold"
    }
  }]
}

"scope": "keyword.other keyword.control", // note separated by a space, one string

This form will require BOTH scopes to be present in order to be applied.
