Ah. That explains why 'alias "somePath"' also appears with the string part
in black 12pt text.
Is the distinction between ASCII and Unicode strings useful? Would it be
something to consider making into a feature? I've always liked syntax
highlighting as an aid to understanding, but I think more could be done to
improve and enhance it [1].

[1] Though my main concern is that there's no high-level distinctions made;
e.g. 'alias "somePath"' reads as 'keyword string', when 'object' would be
_much_ more useful. (Whilst an excessive focus on low-level details may
serve more to confuse than enlighten.)
