I looked into highlighting the input in Irb, too.  It's a lot more work,
but it might be doable.  At a minimum, I'd need to write, borrow, or
steal a full-blown Ruby lexer.  I'd probably need a more terminal-
friendly replacement for readlines (probably curses).

Now that I know more people are interested, I'll have to investigate :).
