Hey,
First congratulations to Allan on a well deserved award... :)
Now, have you guys seen the XCode 3.0 screenshot showing the new "ribbon scope highlighter" ? http://www.apple.com/macosx/leopard/xcode.html
I think it's pretty nifty, don't you think Allan ? (hint hint hint :D)

I like it. Looks semi-simple enough to do too. The real question now is, when will you be posting it to the repository ;)

Done.
The Prototype language now supports it.
You'll need one of the following themes to be able to see it.
Brilliance Black http://macromates.com/svn/Bundles/trunk/Themes/Brilliance% 20Black.tmTheme
iLife 05 http://textmate.svn.subtlegradient.com/Themes/iLife%2005.tmTheme
iPlastic http://textmate.svn.subtlegradient.com/Themes/iPlastic.tmTheme
Let me know what you think. What other languages would do with this? I'm guessing any of the curly bracketed languages.

PHP maybe?

Am I the only one who thinks that this is a sledgehammer approach to highlighting structure, and that it will interfere with syntax highlighting (I make occasional use of background colors)?
Some time ago a different approach to the same goal was discussed that involved highlighting leading tabs. It is relatively easy to add to all languages, Perl already has it:
http://gerd.knops.org/tabHighlightExample.png
The only downside at this point is that for soft tabs the tab size is hardcoded, but I guess Allan could add something to fix that.
In most languages all that is needed is to include this into the syntax (replacing the 4 in ' {4}' with the default tab width for the language):
{ name = 'meta.leading-tabs'; begin = '^(?=(\t| {4}))'; end = '(?=[^\t\s])'; patterns = ( { match = '(\t| {4})(\t| {4})?'; captures = { 1 = { name = 'meta.odd-tab'; }; 2 = { name = 'meta.even-tab'; }; }; } ); },

It's all theme dependent. This is actually based on your idea here. I just explicitly names each tab and names the group. That way you can color the leading space on one side one color and the other side another color.
I think both methods have their place. That's why i think we need some sort of injection scheme. So we can have either method used in any language without modification by injecting the scopes into it somehow.
