yep, but as Dominic said we don't want to do any parsing -- it is not a
highlighters' primary task.
Now we just want to provide a sane set of categories (w/ their colors).

From other side almost all programming languages use one or another "coding
styles".
Personally, I like the way to name constants ALL_IN_UPPERCASE -- and I
don't need a
real parser to realize that this is a constant... I do that even in Python
which do not have
a constant concept at all...
