+scope is white. Code in functions within the global scope is yellow, and code
+within such functions is green, etc. Identifiers retain the color of the scope
+in which they were defined. Comments are gray.

+*syntax* highlighting. Lexical scope information at-a-glance is probably more
+useful than detecting if you spelled "function" wrong, or determing that you
+forgot to close a string literal. (A [linter][] would serve you better.)
