Breaking up logical tasks into functions is crucial to writing

code, functions *are not just about code reuse*.
But there's lots of places in Geany's code where logical tasks are
actually further broken into many little sub-tasks (see below for an
example), so small and trivial that the code would be a lot easier to
follow if it was just in one place and achieved it's primary task.
I didn't mean to imply Geany's code is perfect, or that I usually write
perfect code. I just wanted to draw attention to what I think the ideal
is. Obviously I didn't explain it very well.
I guess we won't ever all agree on this, so we all have to be tolerant.
Sadly, probably not :(
Actually, I support the removal of functions which make code harder to
follow, that is my only goal in discussing code style anyway.
E.g. I said I agreed about the removal of
editor_lexer_get_type_keyword_idx().
