[Mono-dev] Using Mono.CSharp in a syntax highlighting engine

To generate code dynamically from C# text.    The use as a syntax
highlighter is probably not going to be very good.

You found a first few issues with it, but you will run into more.
The internal tree created during parsing does not really correspond
with a textual interpretation of the source, but a transformation that
is useful by the compiler.   So you would have to undo that in several
places, or fork the code for your particular needs.
