Syntax Highlight

[ghost]

I'm using this mode with the default Emacs theme and it doesn't highlight variables when performing assignments. Is this behavior intended?

For example:
x = 2

Shouldn't x have be highlighted?

I don't think that this is intended to be highlighted. A good starting point for code for highlighting is here, and there is no regex for variable assignments, only for short-form function definitions like f(x) = x + 1.

I checked ESS's Julia mode, and it does not highlight assignments either.
