Sounds great to me.  Allowing so many indicators would allow for syntax
highlighting while also supporting SubEthaEdit-like pair/group
programming (something I've been looking to add to my scintilla-based
editor for quite a while), along with different colors for console
stdout/stderr/expected input in shells (also something I've been looking
to add for a while).

Thank you for considering this.
