Yes it's doable, you just need to create GtkTextTags with different
colors and apply them. The hard part is of course the parser.

But I'm not sure so many colors really help. Most of the time I'm
interested to know every places of _one_ variable. And for that you can
just do a search, and the occurrences will be highlighted. Too much
color can get in the way.
