[Agda] Coloring of mixfix identifiers

[Jean-Philippe Bernardy]

Emacs has a feature to highlight a parenthesis corresponding to the
one at the cursor. Highlighting the corresponding portions of a mixfix
operator would be a natural, useful extension.

Andreas: would you think this is superior to your proposal?

Cheers,
JP.
