" Options:
"   There are some options for customizing the highlighting; the recommended
"   settings are the default values, but you can write:
"     let OPTION_NAME = 0
"   in your ~/.vimrc file to disable particular options. You can also write:
"     let OPTION_NAME = 1
"   to enable particular options. At present, all options default to on.
"
"   - go_highlight_array_whitespace_error
"     Highlights white space after "[]".
"   - go_highlight_chan_whitespace_error
"     Highlights white space around the communications operator that don't follow
"     the standard style.
"   - go_highlight_extra_types
"     Highlights commonly used library types (os.Error, etc.).
"   - go_highlight_space_tab_error
"     Highlights instances of tabs following spaces.
"   - go_highlight_trailing_whitespace_error
"     Highlights trailing white space.
