Thanks for the correction / clarification!

That disappoints me a little--the strikethrough is one "style" that I had 
anticipated using with my (maybe/ someday) to be built lexer.  OTOH, if I 
learn enough C/C++ and the Scintilla code base to build a lexer, maybe it 
won't be too hard to either add strikethrough as a style to a lexer, or use 
the indicator approach (either in the lexer or maybe a separate plugin or 
such.
