I’m using [julia-vim](https://github.com/JuliaEditorSupport/julia-vim) for syntax highlighting and unicode support in vim and it’s great.  
I would also like to use rainbow brackets (eg this [plugin](https://github.com/frazrepo/vim-rainbow)), but it doesn’t work within julia blocks (e.g. `function..end`, `begin...end`).  
Has anyone found a way to have both rainbow brackets and julia-vim?

I’m having the same issue. If anyone figures this out it would be greatly appreciated.
