I don't like syntax highlighting! But I go along heartily with
the highlighting of delimiters. In vim (to which I'm wedded
for life) it will pick up matching (), {} and []. Very useful
in something like:

  Pbias<-rep(1,100)
  for(i in (5:96)){
    m0<-mean(Y[(1:i)]); sd0<-sd(Y[(1:i)])
    m1<-mean(Y[((i+1):100)]); sd1<-sd(Y[((i+1):100)])
    se0<-sd0/sqrt(i) ; sd1<-sd1/sqrt(100-i)
    se<-sqrt(sd0^2 + sd1^2)
    Pbias[i]<-2*(1-pnorm(abs(m1-m0)/se))
  }
