Differentiate Variable and List Reporters

I have an idea. It's probably the first idea I've ever had that makes sense.

(variable)
(list)
Do you see how both variable and list reporters render as variable? With my new idea in place, confusion of the two will never happen again. (Hopefully.)

When "list:" is put immediately in front of a variable name, the "variable" should render in dark red, or the color of a list reporter. This way, "list:lorem ipsum" renders as:
(lorem ipsum)
but in the color of a list reporter. The only exception would be when (list:) is entered (with nothing after it). In this case, it would render as a variable named "list:".

Re: Differentiate Variable and List Reporters

Good idea.


Programming is an art...
Goodbye, Scratch. I am leaving because of the exams coming up at our school, though I'll check the forums once or twice a week.

I know, but this time I'm suggesting a change instead of just complaining about it.
