Some basic colorization has already been implemented as the solution to https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12273 But we can go further with that by taking inspiration from Ddoc. In verrorPrint(), the message string can be scanned for text enclosed by `...`. This text can then be syntax color highlighted analogously to the way Ddoc does it. This should nicely improve the look of error messages.
