Hi Barry,
Your reply could easily be read as "this is a bad idea, and you shouldn't have
bothered writing it down". I hope that was not your intention, and instead it
comes from handling self-indulgent people expecting things from you all day. I
know, I get those requests too. I'll assume that was not your intention in my
answers below.

Do you have a link to that discussion, or is this just from memory? What should
I search for to find this discussion? Why was it rejected?

I understand all these 3 things are needed. I'm saying that I think this
feature is worth it. Do you mean I should do things in a separate order? We are
in the idea stage, before a (1) strict syntax can be suggested.

Is commiting to write the code a requirement to suggest an idea? Or course this
is required down the line, but let's see if this is a good idea first?

If I'm not missing anything, this doesn't help with syntax highlighting?
Highlighting is the problem I'm talking about in my post above.
