Yeah, I guess not. Never seen one of those.

My thought was that the default would either be off or bolded, but it would 
be configurable the same as most syntax highlighting: choose style+color and 
you're set.

Basically, it seems like a fairly trivial change would could be very nice. 
Of course, it might be completely useless and everyone will just leave it 
off. It's a feature I'd really have to use to decide on.
