note 84908 added to function.highlight-file

Thanks to mmcloughlin at gmail dot com for the tip about changing the colors. But it makes me wonder: why don't highlight_file() and highlight_string() simply use classes in the <span> elements instead of inline colors? Having to use ini_set to change colors is silly. Imagine: <style type="text/css"> .comment { color:gray; } </style> <span class="comment">/* Comment */</span> Come on, PHP devs!
