SN doesn't know anything about sam files (I don't either for that matter).
However, if you can produce a short reproducible test case for the
highlighting problem, then it's a step closer to being fixed.

Emacs is meant to have that level of integration, however it's
possible that the Emacs integration is broken.  Current, I don't
think there are any other editors that could work like that.

Yeah, that level of integration would require adding an editor interface
layer that can control either an existing SN editor or be ported to
control 3rd party editors.
