Built-in syntax highlighter in Lister

Suggestion: it would be great to have Lister feature like this:

Feature: Syntax highlighting

Lister would have to read the entire file from the beginning for correct syntax highlighting. Why? Immagine the situation where the file starts with a "start comment" sign. Then the entire file up to the next "end comment" sign would be a comment! That's why reading only a small part of the file (as lister currently does) wouldn't be sufficient.

Note:
There are several Lister plugins exist that can do the job with highlighting, and do it perfectly, so this feature may be not so needed in built-in Lister. They are:

SynPlus

SynPlus color scheme editor

Syn (good)

SynUs (outdated - use SynPlus instead)

Highlight(Unofficial plugin)

SyntaxColorizer (outdated)

All are Freeware.
