Maybe you should contact Matthew, during a conversation we had on IRC he revealed a prototype for manageing all such limited resources, not just markers, in a consistent manner.
This concerns all plugin developers. @Matthew, can you public the prototype or it's short description on the mailing list, or on another shared resource?..
I wouldn't expect (for example) GeanyLatex to interfere with my C# programming. Similarly I wouldn't expect the debugger plugin to try to work on a language gdb doesn't understand, eg Java.
Sounds nice. But for some reason, both Scintilla and Geany use fixed resources, independent of file type. Folding for text files, anyone?..
A per-document allocation, no matter how implemented, also introduces per-document resource exhaustion errors. So we should at least have a policy how such error messages are displayed - they must be both noticable and not too annoying.
