Format codes are just text,
I really think that is wrong. They're more like executable code.

I agree with you here. I just note that the strings passed to exec,
eval, and compile are also executable code strings (and nothing but!).
But I don't remember a suggestion that *they* should by colored as
anything other than a string. However, this thread has suggested to me
that perhaps there *should* be a way to syntax check such strings in the
editor rather than waiting for the runtime call.
