I don't see how this is context-free (at least not the part regexps
are used for).  It just matches on the keywords in certain situations
and is therefore dependent on a certain coding style---just like
auto-indentation.

I'd say that the current syntax highlighting in DrScheme is nearly
useless---it disappears too quickly to provide any information.  As I
said, syntax highlighting in (X)Emacs is primarily useful *while I'm
typing*, and I find it one of the great usability benefits of XEmacs
over DrScheme.
