If I felt like wasting the time to learn their syntax highlighting
definition style, yeah.  There was a time when I'd have considered that a
fun way to kill an afternoon.  I must be getting old, cos it sounds like
way more of a PITA and total lack of ROI for the effort.  I'd rather be
doing something either fun or profitable, honestly--or both at once.

And I don't "get" the whole "meta-meta-meta" thing.  Explain?  Privately,
if needs be.
