The problem is NOT MC.
MC merely serializes what it gets… if it's String, it serializes Strings
if it's text, it serializes text. (Which _isn't_ true for the sources.st, 
tho… doable there, but that is an entirely different story).

The problem I see is syntax highlighting. I personally want that.
But, eg, inside comments I probably want to be free to do what I like.
Second problem: when I style literal strings, do they get Text (that
would be soooo cool) or stay they strings? Also, what style is
the syntax highlighter allowed to remove?
