Most 'identifiers' are currently all linked to the Identifier highlight
group. So, constants, symbols, instance and class variables, global
variables, iteration variables, predefined global variables and global
constants are all highlighted using the same colour.

The change above would mean that constants would now be highlighted in
the same colour as strings and numbers, unless you have a fine grained
colour scheme which defines different colours for these.  

I also thought I might link the predefined variables and global
constants to the Special highlight group. When you're bored try this
patch and let me know what you think.

Thanks,
Doug
