My impression is that Neil is fairly reasonable about accepting
patches from other people (for example, anyone reading this list who
has enough skill, time, and desire to write them).  If a patch doesn't
break any existing API or behavior, doesn't negatively impact
performance/resource usage, and is clean and understandable to Neil,
there is a good chance he will put it into the next release.

I personally do not have the skill, nor the time, nor the desire for
such a thing, but I have heard other people say that Scintilla is
fairly well written and understandable for those who know C++.  So
when Neil says "someone needs to implement it", maybe that someone can
be a reader of this list.
