Well, this would be my question: why?  :-)  Auto-indent needs to be
aware of nesting, but that's already handled in a separate pass from
the highlighting.  Besides that, there really isn't anything that
requires this sort of complexity.  Also, as you say, it does tend
toward far less efficient highlighting in more deeply-nested S-
expressions.

Proper regexp highlighting would be nice, but as I mentioned, I'm not
sure what the "correct" way to handle this may be.  Are regular
expressions actually handled specially in the reader?  If not, then we
should probably just reuse the string highlighting semantics.
