I've decided to take a look at what needs doing to python-mode to support
Python 3.0 syntax highlighting. Some obvious differences:
"print" and "exec" are both now builtin functions, not keywords. That
should change their coloring, but how should we detect that? It might
be a small point. In the default setup keywords and builtins seem to be
colored identically, though they are in different classes.
"as" and "with" are full-fledged keywords. I think Barry added "with"
recently, but "as" is still a "crippled" keyword.
"True", "False" and "None" are keywords.
So, should we:
* punt and do the best we can cheaply?
* implement some sort of mode switch?
My inclination is to keep things as simple as possible: move "print" and
"exec" to the builtins section, make "as", "True", "False" and "None" true
keywords. (Things are already too complex for my feeble Lisp neuron.)
