I'm curious if there is a way to hack Spyder's syntax coloring algorithm to 
give it an alternate text type. Specifically, I'd like to be able to define 
two types of comments: narrative comments which describe the code and 
commented out code blocks. The former should be colored a conspicuous color 
as they organize, partition, and describe the code in a narrative fashion, 
while the latter should be an inconspicuous color as they are entirely 
intended to be skipped over, often slightly different copies of nearby code 
blocks. One might try using """ comments for narration and # comments for 
code blocks but the string comments are colored as strings, I'd like the 
narration comments to be separate. 

A simple solution would be to differentiate comments marked with # from 
comments marked with ##, the latter being narration so that it is easier to 
block comment text with a single character, as is already built in. 

Any comments or solution ideas?
