Syntax highlighting is a very useful feature of good editors used for
programming, but thinking about readability of a language, one should
not rely to much on it.
I want Euphoria programs to be easily readable not only in my editor,
but also in my e-mail programm, in the Topica web-interface etc.
Maxbe '$' is not the best choice, but I personally would not like to see
'|' as symbol for 'length(x)'.
