Hi Rik,

Nice! You can change the Wiki if you want, i'll try your plugin later. ;-)

For the wiki page, you should mention that there are syntax highlighting
files available.  I maintain this one
(http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3600) which I think is the
most modern of the various highlighting files available.  It has
use-dependent highlighting and function name completion through OMNIFUNC.
