The ideal console mode (or "repl" or "typescript", two other names for this 
kind of text) does a good job of identifying user inputs versus program 
outputs -- I'm not sure how well the Pygments lexer does at this.  The 
inputs are usually boldfaced, the outputs normal.  Handles '#' and '%' 
prompts, stuff before the prompt, etc.

'bash', on the other hand, is just highlighting for the bash language, as 
far as I know.

I haven't found documentation on how to add support for a new language 
highlighter; is there a link?
