Xamarin crashes editing shader code

Question

Writing if statements in my GLSL shader code crashes Xamarin Studio. Also declaring a vec3, vec4 or other miscellaneous data types will initiate the eternal hang also.

It seems Xamarin can't parse the foreign language. And that's fine, I don't need it to, but I do need to be able to work on my code.

Can I disable parsing, error checking, etc for specific files in my solution?

(extending our comments from your question)

Xamarin 6.1 editing shader files with if/else, vec2/vec3/vec4, etc.. without any issues:

Shown is a Addin that extends the mime type text/x-cgsrc (CGSyntaxMode.xml) with some minor additions for:

<File pattern="*.shader" />
<File pattern="*.fs" />  
<File pattern="*.vs" />  
<File pattern="*.cginc" />  
<File pattern="*.vert" />  
<File pattern="*.tese" />  
<File pattern="*.tesc" />  
<File pattern="*.geom" />  
<File pattern="*.frag" />  
<File pattern="*.comp" />
