Highlight matching words in code (background color)

I think highlighting based on string matching has very limited benefits for a code editor. I think it is only really useful if highlighting is done based on some semantic representation of the source code, such as abstract semantic graph. What do you think?

[Ansury]

Well, I think I see where you're going here. (ANTLR etc?) Certainly that'd be more useful, but I think that's a little too large of a distraction for me at the moment.

Worth mentioning, I implemented this, but never got the build system ship-shape:

I'll work on updating the readme and samples this weekend --but it does require you to supply an ANTLR parser and lexer.

Please reopen if you think otherwise.
