I *know* it's easy to do in KATE; I already do it. If you read the rest 
of the thread, you will realize that I'm talking about *KDevelop* being 
able to do this via a mechanism that has *nothing to do* with KATE's 
highlighting (in the sense that it is achieved through a totally 
different mechanism than KATE's state machine).
