I came across this when wondering if there were any efforts to give programmers additional information via audio, similar to how colors are used in syntax highlighting.

There are some interested experiments out there in modes of highlighting, such as where colors are assigned to particular variables.

IMO syntax highlighting is still the best default for navigation and general reading, but I can imagine tasks where I might want to temporarily toggle what information I'm getting through that color-of-text route.
