[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Wish: S expression highlighter (#2493)

[ferdymercury]

I have a text file written in s-expression, pasted below

```
(module VIA-091X03-VE (layer F.Cu) (tedit 5EAC6216)
  (fp_text reference REF** (at 0 0) (layer F.SilkS) hide
    (effects (font (size 1 1) (thickness 0.15)))
  )
  (fp_text value VIA-091X03-VE (at 0 2) (layer F.Fab) hide
    (effects (font (size 1 1) (thickness 0.15)))
  )
  (fp_line (start -0.85344 -0.85344) (end -0.85344 0.85344) (layer F.CrtYd) 
(width 0.05))
  (fp_line (start -0.85344 0.85344) (end 0.85344 0.85344) (layer F.CrtYd) 
(width 0.05))
  (fp_line (start 0.85344 0.85344) (end 0.85344 -0.85344) (layer F.CrtYd) 
(width 0.05))
  (fp_line (start 0.85344 -0.85344) (end -0.85344 -0.85344) (layer F.CrtYd) 
(width 0.05))
  (pad "" thru_hole circle (at 0 0) (size 0.9144 0.9144) (drill 0.3048) (layers 
*.Cu *.Mask)
    (solder_mask_margin 0.1016)
    (zone_connect 2))
)
```

If I open it with geany and set the document file type to LISP, the 
highlighting is a bit inconsistent, especially for negative numbers:

Is there a better highlighter for this type of document that I am not finding 
in the list?
