I created https://github.com/geany/geany/pull/270 which was fairly
straightforward.  It's not much tested as I don't know Zephir (yet?),
but should work fine.  One limitation however is that it won't parse
variables as it seems Zephir don't use $ mark, but that could probably
be fixed relatively easily if knowing the language.

Yeah, this will work.

Maybe you use an earlier Geany version, but since 1.24 the PHP tag
parser is a lot more clever, and also requires proper PHP open tags.
With the "//<?php" trick it will of course work, but it won't without.
