Hi,

Unfortunately colouring is *syntax* highlighting, not semantic
highlighting.  That means the highlighter can recognise an identifier,
but it doesn't know what it means.  All it does is compare the
identifier to the list and if it exists it colours it "keyword" not
"identifier" colour.

A second keyword list is (ab)used to list typenames identified by the
symbol parser allowing them to be coloured differently, but again it
can't tell if a name is actually being used as a typename or variable,
so you can also get random variable names coloured if they match a
typename anywhere, even if its not in scope.
