I, like many men, will be unable to distinguish operators from variables in
your scripts, due to a very common form of male colorblindness. Also, in
your scheme, all spaces will be colored red, because spaces are operators in
AppleScript; this won't show up in a script, of course, but if your script
is converted to HTML for the Web with colors preserved, there will be <font>
tags surrounding every space (an inconsequential issue, I know, but
theoretically a slowdown for all Web browsers).
