Thanks for confirmation.

Nothing. I just couldn't believe it. But probably somebody has some 
reason to restrict this or that language this or that way.

As mentioned above, EditPlus has a charming simple and universal 
solution. To whomever it may concern, have a look and see, how easy it 
is to provide any number of stylings for any filetype, including a 
user-defined set of consistent stylenames.

I don't know Scintilla, didn't even notice, that Geany depends from it. 
But maybe there is a chance to unify all these lexers by one and only 
one set of generic styles. Since, at least as I know various programming 
and scripting languages, they differ in appropriate stylenames, but not 
in the number of usefully applicable styles.
