Description

enhancement resolved

OS X 10.11.2, Sublime Text 3113, Gravity theme, latest MagicPython.

X_train and X_test are highlighted purple, but y_train and y_test are white. Capitalizing the Y vars turns them purple.

I'm assuming that any word starting with a capital is treated as a "constant" and colored accordingly. Is this intentional? Wouldn't checking for ALL_CAPS be better?
