Are you sure we need new lexers: scintilla already has:

QsciLexerBash, QsciLexerBatch, QsciLexerCMake, QsciLexerCPP,
QsciLexerCSS, QsciLexerD, QsciLexerDiff, QsciLexerFortran77,
QsciLexerHTML, QsciLexerLua, QsciLexerMakefile, QsciLexerPascal,
QsciLexerPerl, QsciLexerPostScript, QsciLexerPOV, QsciLexerProperties,
QsciLexerPython, QsciLexerRuby, QsciLexerSQL, QsciLexerTCL,
QsciLexerTeX, QsciLexerVHDL, and QsciLexerYAML.

Also, unless I'm mistaken those are written in C++ so they are fast as
well, for large amounts of text.

I'm glad about that, and pretty sure this will make leo more
attractive to newcomers as well.
