I think Geany should support one common styling file (not
to be confused with filetypes.common). Then writing other schemes would
only mean adding one configuration file.

This would be quite a lot of work, changing all the default
highlighting.c code to reference a common styling file, but I think it
would be worth it.

If we implemented that, I think a menu to change between common styling
files would be reasonable to have.
