How is it implemented in emacs?

  If parent is referring to rainbow-identifiers, it seems that it uses so called syntax tables, which are used for syntactic parsing of documents, they are created by the buffer major mode and are shared between modules. They are used for all kind of things, like indenting, cursor movement, etc. At least that's my understanding, I'm a long time emacs user, but I don't have a very deep knowledge of the internals.
