   Projects based on Scintilla have been using indicators to mark

checker may show 5 errors in a whole file. Its a little complex using
indicators in this way as the lexing state has to be preserved while
setting the indicator and there is only 1 to 3 bits available for this
state.

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).

That would be great, we have some hacky patches to get coloring for stdout/err/in that do not always work well.
