Thank you. I hope the package is simple enough to see what it is doing,
so that it can be added without issue.
I think it should be an opt-in feature, not a replacement for the
current syntax highlighting in lisp-mode because many users prefer the
old syntax highlighting. Also, it is not very sophisticated (it is just
regular expressions) and sometimes doesn't highlight right based on the
context.
The other issue with it is that it can't really be unloaded.
So if these issues are too great for it to be added then we will have to
fix them first.
