Status report on the prototype (not yet on the trunk).

The new code only uses the s argument to recolor (the line being
colored).

The result is a huge collapse in complexity.  Everything is easy
again.

Still to do:

1. The new code never calls h.setCurrentState so multi-line constructs
are not colored properly.

2. The old colorizers haven't changed, and return the same values as
always.  As a result, the guts of the main line is unchanged.

3. No attempt has been made to create restarters.  I don't anticipate
any real difficulties.

In short, the new approach appears to be a spectacular success.   More
later.  My daughter graduated from high school yesterday and social
obligations call :-)

But really, these are fairly small nits :-) The way forward is
suddenly much clearer.
