The syntax highlighter is a bit naive

[eteran]

The syntax highlighter works well, but is a little naive, for example when highlighting a symbol such as:

libasm-0.163.so!__x86.get_pc_thunk.bx

the 0.163 is highlighted as a numeric value and the bx is highlighted as a register. We should probably add a little bit of context awareness to the highlighter to make it get these little details correct.

It's indeed naive and doesn't work well in some cases, but it's also quite slow. It seems it should be done in some other way than using regexp, although I don't know what ways would those be. Maybe the instructions themselves should be drawn more "manually", i.e. mnemonic with separate highlighting, then operands, where symbolic addresses are already known to be present or not, etc.
