Nothing was produced. To be acceptable, existing users should not
see any changes unless they change their code to opt in to the new
way. It can be a new style but there would have to be a call to use
that style and it would have to integrate with the existing
SCI_CALLTIPSETBACK / SCI_CALLTIPSETFORE. .

OK.

OK.
