custom syntax highlighting.

Hope this hasn't been brought up before:
I think it would be a nice feature if libraries could specify their own keywords.txt files to highlight new methods and syntax they introduce.

A very nice way of doing this would be to have the associated keywords file in the library's folder and load it only when the library is imported into a sketch.
Another way that would probably be less of a pain to implement could be to have a keywords folder instead of a single file and load every txt file in that folder upon startup. That way, it would still be simple for the user to install or uninstall syntax-highlighting "modules".
