When I looked at prior art the closest matches were the package rainbow-mode
from ELPA that displays colors by character codes, and prettify-symbols-mode
that transforms characters into alternative representation. But doing this
using font-lock-keywords is so trivial, it was easier to just put a small
piece of code in ~/.emacs.
