S-expr comment hightlighting doesn't work well for me also.
The patch pasted in the wiki is rather dirty and may cause some other problems.
Still I can't find a proper way to do the job.

Wow, a good work.
I have tried those commands, and they work well.


BTW, the way using screen to interact with Chicken is poor.
Elf has just released his remote-repl egg. I think it is possible
to use VIM's foreign language interface(e.g. Python) to connect
to the server side. So that we can get the result back,
then we can do much more things in VIM.
Or even a repl?

Any thoughts?
