Syntax highlighting support?

[p4vook]

One thing that has always stopped me from using vi is a lack of syntax highlighting.
Is it possible to implement syntax highlighting while keeping the code and philosophy clean?

I thought about highlighting some keywords or matching parenthesizes with underscores or bold text. But all these require some parsing, and these are specific to languages.
