I think it will be easier to debug expressions returned by macros if they could be syntax highlighted. The package [OhMyREPL](https://github.com/KristofferC/OhMyREPL.jl) already enables syntax highlighting in the REPL (which i use), but it doesn’t highlight expressions when they are _shown_ in the REPL. Perhaps there is a way to achieve this?
