Yep, I agree that it's important. i#152 is opened for 0.6.

To recap for others on the list (as far as I understand): this is about 
highlighting the 'dt' output in the terminal. I think the 'right' way to 
do this is actually to implement XML printout in the 'dt' and create 
some kind of frontend to parse that XML and highlight the output 
accordingly. We'll need to support XML output at some point anyway. 
Opinions?

Yes, it's certainly a valuable addition, but it requires some effort. I 
believe it should be considered after we are done with i#146 (local 
indexing/caching).
