My son sent me a link to an essay about highlighting program data
instead of keywords:

I think this might have value, especially if to could bounce back and
forth between both schemes.
Hmmm, I'm not convinced, but then I wasn't convinced by syntax
highlighting either until I had used it for a while. (I still think it's
a nice-to-have rather than a must-have.)
When my fingers get a bit fumbly, I find it more useful. When I do not
hit ' or " solidly, or type a mismatch 'something", having the string
literal color continue is a handy clue. So is 'it' not getting the
keyword color that if would.
