[Geany] R support (was Re: Adding Syntax Highlighting for New FIletype Problem)

[Jason Oster]

The defines in SciLexer.h should never change between Scintilla 
versions. This would cause API breakage, which I believe is [generally] 
against Niel's update policy.

Andrew, if you made any changes to those defines (other than additions) 
please consider reverting those changes back to the original settings.

I understand the problem from a personal perspective; I've been adding 
extra functionality to the CSS lexer, and it's a pain to see things like 
the style definitions and keyword lists all arranged out of any sort of 
logical order. But in practice, I have no choice but leaving those alone 
unless I want to risk breaking backward compatibility. :(
