I guess Neil added this because somebody wanted it.  I can see that there are 
times when knowing what was changed in a session is useful.  Since last save is 
maybe less useful since most IDEs have autosave and lots of people seem to like 
it.

But as @b4n points out there are operations that can produce unusable results 
when blindly recording lines edited since session start.

Other IDEs (the ones I tested) show diffs to git, not just the session, thats 
probably more useful.  Maybe, depends how good the diff algorithm is, I'm sure 
we all have seen excessive github diffs for small changes.

Styling just needs "somebody" to add settings for the relevant marker and 
indicator types to the colour schemes files.

Anyway, its in Scintilla, we might as well make it available to users, the only 
question is by default or not.  I don't have a strong feeling either way.
