Details:

This is a small proof-of-concept changeset that adds background color to the
data model based upon scope.  It has potential.  Place a breakpoint in the
attached testfun.m and step through.  I think it would be much nicer to
organize these entries by type, or at least group variables inside a function
(currently not supported, an 'f' would be needed to the scope characters).  It
wouldn't be too difficult to do because separate QTableView could be made for
each and if placed in the QVerticalLayout.

Another thing we could do is have a Preferences... setting that allows sorting
based on name, or sorting based upon scope.  That would be easy to do inside
the "data" model.  When they come in, just sort accordingly in the lists.
