Which one / What is highlighting same as constant?

Then if Foo is a constand in a case statement it should be treated the

literal constant: 'a' => blue by default
If constants in the case statement are characters then they should
also be blue by default.
123 => dark(er) blue (navy) by default
Yes, if the case constant is a number then it should also be in this
color.
This was already and always the case. any identifier, char, number
is/was highlighted the same never mind if it is in a case label, an
assignment, an expression .....
The question was, if a case label (any case-label, never mind it being a
number, char, string, ident) should have any additional highlights.
So case labels will stand out from other source?
The idea is that they are kind of a "section header" introducing a block
of code, that is bound to a condition.
In other conditions, you have the "if then" being bold, and the actual
expression local to the highlighted conditon marker (if then)
In case of a "case" the label can be far away from the highlight of the
"case of" => it does not stand out, and can be overlooked.
- in small case blocks, it is easily seen by the indentation rules (if
they are there, lets hope for it)
- in big case blocks, there may be many levels of indent outside, and
inside the case. It is near impossible to tell if anything is exactly on
the case-level of indent (especially if the case itself is scrolled of
the visible screen).
