[racket] Anyone familiar with mercurial? Add syntax coloring to github?

Update: Georg accepted the pull request into pygments a few minutes ago.

Next: I'll keep an eye on the progress pulling into Github and Bitbucket.

On the Github side, I *think* the relevant repo is
<https://github.com/tmm1/pygments.rb>. It looks like they pull from
pygments every 1-3 months. The most recent pull was about 2 months
ago: <https://github.com/tmm1/pygments.rb/commit/7b35292815a709d151add6ef8d2c2f7b20a5c749>.
As a result, I'm hopeful the next pull will be soon.
