syntax highlighting is incorrect about gobyexample HOT 5 CLOSED

Yep I agree that consistency would be good, thanks for the report @nf.

To start I changed the toolchain to use the most recent version of Pgyments, which has helped some. In particular more tokens including boolean constants and previously-unrecognized predclareds are now recognized. There is a tradeoff now between having a different color for everything and having too many colors. I'm not thrilled about the current scheme but I think it's correctness is strictly better than the previous version.

I'll leave the issue open while we continue to think about this.

@nf
I"ve use pygment to generate to dlin.github.com/gobyexample, please check if it correct for you.

@dlintw I guess it's okay. The distinction between pre-declared identifiers (int, string) and keywords (func, var) isn't very strong int hat case, though.

Well, I don't want to deep into modify this problem, just call the system pygment. If there is good Go library, maybe I'll learn how to put it in.

I'm going to close this because I don't plan to improve the highlighting beyond what's offered by the most recent Pygments package. I'm open to PRs if someone feels really motivated to address this.
