<p dir="auto">Sounds reasonable. Let's just settle for enough SWI-PL keywords to provide a common denominator between the Vim and VS Code implementations. Type specifiers are unique to Visual Prolog and could be better implemented by a tags parser anyway. Serious users would expect their custom types to be styled the way <code>typedef</code>'d structs currently are in C and family.</p>

<p dir="auto">Scintilla lexers are C++, so in theory they could do anything, just somebody has to code it :-)</p>

<p dir="auto">Yeah, you should be able to do more things in the code than using regular expression.</p>

<p dir="auto">Well, being easy but inefficient allowed Python an PHP to become the institutions they are today.<br>
Scintilla has followed that tradition to great success.</p>
<p dir="auto">There was a <a href="https://sourceforge.net/p/scintilla/feature-requests/1074" rel="nofollow">proposal made</a> a long time ago to teach Scintilla how to consume flex files.<br>
The idea was logical but completely antithetical to the nature of C++, as it would have meant that "Scintilla lexers could be resumed^{<a href="#user-content-fn-1-dcb0957bf7eaeb291386ab9e5bf3e488" id="user-content-fnref-1-dcb0957bf7eaeb291386ab9e5bf3e488" data-footnote-ref="" aria-describedby="footnote-label">1</a>} to more readable definition files, instead of inextricable suite of if / elseif / goto code."</p>
