Regarding that pattern we discussed previously and used in this
AutoClose code for attaching data to a document, I'd be interested
whether you or anyone thinks this branch (last/top two commits) would
be useful to plugins:

https://github.com/codebrainz/geany/commits/document-datalist

IMO it'd be better to make GeanyDocument an actual GObject and get the
data lists for "free", but at least this is sort of a step in the same
direction.


I agree with that.

I also agree with your general idea of per-document data lists. However,
I'm not seeing the point of the new code you added because each doc has
already a ScintillaObject, which is a GObject. I would suggest that the
document_set_data() and friends wrap around
g_object_set_data(doc->editor->sci). This way things are prepared for
when GeanyDocument becomes a GObject but without the need to duplicate
the glib interface in Geany.

Unless I missed anything that requires the datalist in GeanyDocument
directly?


There isn't (or rather shouldn't be) a 1:1 correspondence between a GeanyDocument and the view that's showing it. Consider say a split view where the same document is shown in multiple views, or in two windows or whatever. But you're right, with the way the code is currently, you could just wrap the Scintilla data list, it's just not very future-proof (at least this was my thinking).

Cheers,
Matthew Brush
