description
Display a line or lines in the command area, like the builtin echo, but using the original lines' syntax highlighting.

Useful to other scripts for displaying lines of text, highlighted as they appear in the editor window (e.g., see ShowBlockName.vim -- vimscript #382)
 
install details
I put it in my autoload directory (~/vim/autoload), so the function is automagically loaded as needed via an autocommand:

autocmd FuncUndefined * exe 'runtime autoload/' . expand('<afile>') . '.vim'
