feature request highlight pointers

[shadow skill]

I would like it if Code::Blocks was able to highlight variables designated as pointers in c++ in particular.  In Emacs for example

Code

*pointer

is set to magenta I can clearly see because of the colour difference that I have typed

Code

*pointer

correctly.  With Code::Blocks this does not seem to be possible and I tend to end up not catching

Code

^pointer

until I try to run the program I am writing and even then it is not always apparent.
