   Yes, I also want to place a limit on the size of the Scintilla
project to keep it manageable for both implementation and use. The
current size of the Scintilla API does deter some people and makes it
difficult to find the particular feature needed. I have more stringent
quality and portability goals for Scintilla and have accepted code
into SciTE that is not good enough to include in Scintilla.

   A Scintilla augmentation library would be a good project for
someone (that is, not me) to take up. As well as implementing the
extra functionality, you will need to consider packaging techniques
for use from different platforms and languages or to declare a
preferred environment.
