   however, it seems to me that editors that provide syntax highlighting
   could reflect such a distinction by using different visual feedback
   for each (e.g. different color, font, etc.).  some time in the last
   few years, i suggested this be done for the interactive lisp mode in
   emacs, but no one seemed to be interested in the idea and i wasn't up
   to the task (i suppose what is and what isn't a special form may
   depend on the flavor of lisp one may be using, but it seems possible
   that something useful could be concocted).

   does this idea not seem worth the effort?

   will there be a guile mode?  i noticed that there is some mention of
   someone working on one in an old message from the archives (Subject is
   something like "Scheme is too complicated").

i don't see the lack (in GNU emacs, at least).  when i edit foo.scm,
symbols `and', `lambda', `define', etc. are in a different color.  did
you turn on font-lock mode?
