Latest RB highlighting

I noticed there is a setting for "Highlight debugging". I'm assuming
this is to assist in the debugging of the ever more sophisticated

yes, or more generally, to avoid trouble when debugging code that is
used by the code highlighting package itself (SmaCC, ExtraEmphasis etc.)

that's a bit off-topic, but i just ran into that page of dolphin smalltalk:

http://www.macta.f2s.com/Thoughts/dolphin.html

seems they're already using the arrows for highlighting the brackets...
must be some kind of smalltalk-feature, cause I haven't seen it anywhere
else except for smalltalk IDEs so far :-)
