  "Syntax highlighting enables Vim to show parts of the text in another font or
  color. Those parts can be specific keywords or text matching a pattern. Vim
  doesn't parse the whole file (to keep it fast), so the highlighting has its
  limitations. Lexical highlighting might be a better name, but since everybody
  calls it syntax highlighting we'll stick with that."
