Proposal: Gambas install highlight files and folders public to user

I noticed that Vim installs 2 folders that I wonder if Gambas already does:
syntax containing the logic of every hightlight for the languages
and
colors containing some templates of highlights (themes)
Does gambas already have something similar (allowing the user modify the highlight keywords/colors) or creating new themes easily ?
Wouldn't be nice if future gambas versions to provide this feature? (syntax and themes folders and templates allowing users to modify/create their own highlights) ?
Gambas would them load the computer files to determine how to highlight.
Thanks

Possibly partly to my encouragement to Benoit that giving us the ability to make our own highlight files would both open up lots of possibilities for us and would mean he would not have to add/maintain any he does not want to.
A little while ago gb.highlight was born and now we can add any highlighting styles we like to gb.form.editor for our own software to use.
It wouldn't take much to make a public repository of syntax files. the gambas wiki could well house that.
