Description

The editor's syntax-highlighting files have a color alias mechanism (and an #inclusion mechanism, BTW). We should use it, where possible, instead of repeating color names. E.g., "CONSTANT" instead of "brightmagenta italic". Some advantages:

  • Letting users modify these colors globally.
  • Making it possible for skins to tweak these colors.
  • Uniformity among syntaxes.

Some skins that could benefit from this feature are ​sand256 and ​gray*256. These screenshots demonstrate the problem.
