VI colormappings for dcabe

Who was it wrote these?  Brian?  Mark?

They're actually pretty useful and spiffy, but there's two things I
would change about them, one of which I can probably figure out how to 
do, and one of which is more opaque:

The choice of color for the reverse video on the colons is a bit jarring;
I think I'm going to try changing them to cyan.  What would actually be
much more useful -- though I don't know if vim knows how -- is to make 
them *only be reverse if there aren't three of them on a line*.

The other, more opaque thing (no, that wasn't it :-) is that it does
quote-matching across lines, which, of course, dcabe generally does not
(browse lookup definitions being the only exception I know of).  Is there
a way to tell it to stop looking at the end of the line?  Arguments can, 
I suppose, be made both ways, but while I'm *writing* the code, it's a 
bit disconcerting to have a half dozen lines change color while I'm inside
a quoted string...


If you write a lot of code in VIM, you probably oughtta grab these.  :-)

Cheers
