Description

Implement a source code highlighter based on Parrot's lexer, the new highlighter should be smarter. e.g.

It can show different colors in GString `"abc${'123' + 123}def${a + b}"`

The new highlighter is enabled by default.

Check the checkbox "Enable smart highlighter" in "View" menu to enable/disable the new highlighter.
