we are really getting off-topic...
and so I am -- as an exception -- cross-posting to ESS-help
but
- I don't remember any feature-request of that kind,
but that may well just expose my fading long-time memory
- you can always use M-x font-lock-mode
which toggles font-locking ("highlighting").
- What I would want is font-locking in iess- and transcript-mode,
just not to highlight 'for' and 'in' (and a few more), but
I'd like to keep the string and other font-locking.
IIRC, that is simple in principle, but needs a bit of
tedious work in practice.
