Yes, that's simple enough... but the problem is, my search criteria
here are not purely syntactical, if they were, then I could've used the
other, more usual forms of fontification. Maybe I mix : search with the
regexp functions, then apply my own criteria on top of the match...

This sounds more promising, I'll look into this.

Thank you, Joakim, Oliver.
