I didn't say that very well. Rules are executed in the order in
which they are defined, so later rules are executed after earlier
rules and their coloring may replace that of earlier rules.
Aye, very important especially when debugging rules that seem not to be
working.
Another nuance is that the index rules match a pattern and colour the entire
index line. By contract, the body rules match a regexp and colour only the
macthed section, so my "FAIL" body rules just colour the word "FAIL" in red.
Which I think is good!
