I'd tend to agree...
OTOH I don't like colour :-)

No it isn't! You still have to know the language in order to
get quoting right. Try editing an m4 source file!

The only difficulty is knowing which half of the #if ... #else ... #endif
to parse. Parsing both is wrong and will lead to miscoloration.

No, and I would use it if I did :-)
