IIRC elvis' hilighting works similarly, I remember that being pretty much the only synhi I've encountered in an editor that I didn't end up turning off with extreme prejudice. (I find I can skim code more easily when I can think about the structure at different levels - block, function, statement, expression etc. - and I find that for me, syntax hilighting often makes that harder and slower ... but "for me" is definitely load bearing in that statement)
