It may be just me, but coloring the whole "?!LOOP?!" in red feels a
bit strange.  I would have expected more like

	if ($c->{color_in_use}) {
		$checked =~ s/\?!([^?]+)\?!/$c->{bold}$c->{red}$1$c->{reset}/mg;
	}

IOW, switching between "?!LOOP?!" and "<BOLD><RED>LOOP<RESET>".

But it may be just me.

Sounds quite sensible.
