   there are more widespread changes than just a single new lexer file

   I haven't worked out all the changes but, since the lexer is
defined with keyword sets at particular values, the number of keyword
sets was increased. There is a LexUser.cxx that does the
interpretation. I don't have much more information than you do: what
documentation there is is in the properties file.

   This is at an early stage so there is a trade-off: you get more
influence on how this progresses at the cost of handling some raw code
and packaging.
