Just a word of advice: it's always better to use the property rather
than attempting to change the underlying attribute. In this case, the
call should be self.Language = "gedcom", because other things must
happen when the lexer is changed, and the property setter will take
care of them for you.

I don't know a whole lot about how custom lexers are supposed to work
with the STC_LEX_CONTAINER. I just learned enough to enable the built-
in lexers, but if you can get some info on how to do this, I think it
would be great to add more lexers to the editor.
