That looks promising.

I am going to be lazy here, and speculate (since I am really supposed to be
doing something else right now):

I wonder if anyone knows the pygments people? I imagine there's some minor
issues keeping this from being a simple drop-in into the official pygments
code base. That looks to be at
https://bitbucket.org/birkenfeld/pygments-main/issues but ... I am ignorant
here.

(Meanwhile, I am glad that someone got J support into github, however they
managed to get that to happen.)

Thanks,
