I think the issue here is supporting color schemes which are not
language specific.  This is the way other editors do it and probably
not too much of a reach for Leo.  The language definition defines how,
for a particular language, the following are identified syntactically:

comment
string literal
character literal
regex
keyword
constant
macro
verbatim
heading
subheading
link
operator
integer
float
function definition
class definition
etc. etc.

and the color scheme provides colors (boldness etc) for those things.

not all of the classes above apply to all languages, but most can be
fitted into the list (not complete above) without too much trouble.

Then colors are a user preference which can follow the user between
languages.

Cheers -Terry
