Hi Nick,
How does this work without a filetype to support the new lexer? And don't we need additions to sciwrappers to map the filetype keys to scintilla style enums?
Obviously. My point was that selectively applying parts of a Scintilla update is acceptable if it is unlikely to cause bugs outside of use of the new feature being applied. You seemed to imply that it was dangerous/difficult to do that without updating all of Scintilla.
