It's not currently possible to define a word file and there isn't
a great alternative for pyx files other than using "plain text"
as the file type for them.  I think they default to Python, which
isn't a good choice.

I have implemented a Cython lexer for syntax highlighting and fixed
issues w/ showing syntax errors for Wing 3.2, but I'm still not sure
when we'll manage to get out a beta release of that.

Thanks,
