So is it going to be implemented? I feel like being thrown back to
stone age using a source code editor that basically knows nothing

If you allow Xcode to index your sources you get class browser,
class modeling, auto-completion, jump-to-definition, definition
search, et.c.
I think it's a bit unfair to claim that it knows "nothing" about
your sources just because it doesn't also allow you to color based
on this knowledge.
Yes, it does all that, half-@$$, I must say.
The auto-complete doesn't work most of the time. The way to invoke/
generate/create/whatever class browser is cumbersome to say the
least. Jump to definition seldom jumps to the right definition. Not
to mention it does all these things painfully sloooooow. Maybe it's
because I am using the banished combination of C++ and Carbon?
And to "know" all those things about a source file but not being able
the color them is just plain funny.
I am not to argue with anyone. I have no choice but move to this
God's (whose initials are S.J.) punishment to ex-CWers. I just try to
let Apple know they have to provide a quality alternative to CW since
they ever so eagerly killed it. And they didn't do a good job. In CW,
almost everything I need is right there or a right-click away. In
XCode, it's always not there or several menus and dialogs away.
Sorry for the rant. But it's Monday...
