Highlighting "flickering" while applying formatting #41

Under some circumstances, lines lose their syntax highlighting for a while when formatting is applied.

The attached image illustrates it.

I would like for the text not to temporarily turn to the foreground color.

This has to do with the way it applies the formatting. It could probably benefit from the way prettier-js and go-mode/gofmt work. They compute the differences and then apply the changes by spot patching the contents without rewriting the entire buffer. It also protects the undo history.
