Description
I'm very used to my micro colorscheme and often find myself opening micro just to read a source file. My request is for the ability to print (cat) a file, colored as micro would in a buffer. Alternatively, is this possible with a plugin?

Research direction
Start by checking whether a plugin or existing command can access micro's syntax-highlighting output, then trace how files are printed outside the editor buffer. Determine whether the request belongs in the command-line interface or can be implemented as a plugin; done means a file can be displayed with colors matching the selected micro colorscheme.
