In that case, it would also be possible to interact with highlight
without using its perl bindings -- the CLI appears to be extremely
widely packaged.

But Pygments is the one I've seen used all over the place, and I so bet
(though haven't checked) that it has better language support, etc.  So
there's probably no reason to prefer highlight if not using the Perl
bindings.
