Languages differ greatly in which elements and element
relationships are considered important. Scintilla could provide a few
common flags (Comment/Identifier/Literal)  for each style but this
would only provide minimal guidance to containers. For example, in C
there are string and character literals but other languages (such as
Python) don't need to make that distinction and may instead prefer to
differentiate between short and multi-line-capable literals. Or the
user may want to use ' versus " to indicate whether a literal requires
translation. I doubt there is anything achievable with reasonable
effort that will greatly assist over the range of languages supported
by Scintilla.
