It's very easy to add some form of nesting, which breaks the "simple lexer" approach to highlighting.

I've added syntax highlighting to the prompt of my programming language!

Further tinkering with diagnostics, following feedback!
* Two lines of context above and below now.
* The caret is included in the line below where possible.
* Syntax highlighting of keywords.
I kinda feel that smart context sizing would be better. What do you think so far?
