I'm checking out SinkWorld right now, sounds nice... from what I understood
in the SinkWorld website, it is (and correct me if I'm wrong) basically a
testbed for Scintilla, and many of the stuff there could be later moved to
Scintilla.... I was just wondering, when and how are decisions of moving
code from SinkWorld to Scintilla done? ...Also, is SinkWorld interface
backward compatible with Sintilla? (i.e. can one compile, for instance,
SciTE using SinkWorld instead of Scintilla as the main library?)

By the way, I wanted to thank you and congratulate you for this
extraordinary work, Scintilla and SciTE are just so amazingly great.

Best regards,
Kronuz.
