Well, I use both syntax highlighting (matching fewer patterns than yours) *with* the rangeset bold/underline backlighting. Works a treat. I also consult the syntax highlighting to see if a position is on a man-page link, so that I can jump to it. SH has done the work of parsing everything, so why reanalyse?
