Alexey's version uses syntax highlighting, my version (actually
originally written by Tony) uses rangesets to color the output.

The simple coloring done right now works just by putting stuff marked
using backspaces in rangesets and color these.

Yes, much better. I somehow assumed that rangesets rely on characters,
while they are purely positional.

Coulfd you add some comments on your version?
