I contacted BBEdit re getting the newer version of the CLMs working and had
some success and some failure.
Success: Keywords now broken up into classes with a different colour for each
class.
Failure: multi word keywords are not possible with the CLM
Control structure folding is thus not possible either (cannot tell
"end if" from "end repeat" as it can't handle multi word keys)
I originally contacted Rich as I was getting a BBEdit console error stating
that there were no keywords and hence color syntax would not work. As it turns
out, the error message is bogus and the colorsyntax wasn't working due to
another bug. I will let Rich explain.

So I have updated the LCM to now separate the keywords into the following:
properties
operators
objects
messages
keywords
functions
constants
commands
controls
and given each a different color! (Well if its there, use it :-))
As a bonus, as these are named sets they appear in the "Text Colors" pane of
the BBEdit preferences, so you can change them to your liking without the need
to do the maths and edit the .plist (NB: for some reason the "controls" set
does not show in the pref pane.)
I have uploaded the revised livescript.plist.
