Original submission:

i'd like to see editor-like syntax highlighting in the viewer.
i think the easiest (or at least cleanest) solution to achieve this 
would be merging the viewer into the editor and making a read-only 
mode. this would obviuosly require drastically changing the memory 
model of the editor, making it able to handle huge files 
efficiently - something that wouldn't hurt anyway.

Sorry, probably made a mistake trying to linearize ticket dependencies for GitHub import.
