Hi all,

I'm just canvassing opinion on three changes which could be useful

1) Currently, Find-in-files is initialized with the property
'find.files", but it would be cool if there was an option for it to
use the _current extension_ to build up a mask. If I am working in
Python, then it should know that I am probably wanting to search
Python files, etc.

2) View|Parameters sets $(1)..$(4). It would be convenient if there
was a new constructed property $(Parameters) which is built out of
these properties, quoted if necessary to make a valid command line. It
would then be quite safe to update all the command.go properties to
use $(Parameters)  out of the box.

3) On the scripting side, scite.MenuCommand() takes an integer id
which has to be looked up in SciTE.h by a human. Now SciTE already
maintains a map of 'IDM_...' constants, so it is possible to redefine
Extender::MenuCommand() to take a string argument and use this table
if necessary, so that one can use symbolic 'IDM_..' names. This only
takes an extra 15 lines and doesn't otherwise affect the interfaces.

I have solutions for these (I wouldn't suggest them if I didn't ;))
but I wanted to know what people thought of them before I start
posting patches.
