Syntax highlighter for UIM Source

Probably silly, but I'd like to have at least a minimal syntax highlighter for UIM source. I personally use a lot of UIM and just seeing the language tags different than the rest of the text would be nice.

When editing UIM source code that supports my RPG applications, the editor displays the source all the same color. Being a tagged language, it is difficult sometimes to spot the language tags interspersed throughout the source code.

    A workaround for this is to set the 'LPEX Editor', 'Parsers', "Parser Associations' for the member type to CL. But you have to turn off automatic formatting or it can really muck up the UIM code.

    A preliminary evaluation of this request indicates that it is consistent with our business strategy. Further evaluation of this RFE is underway.
