To do this right I think a new Scintilla lexer would be needed and we 
probably would want to base it on the Python lexer so Python code is 
shown better than what the D Source lexer is doing.

This is one our list of things to do in the longer term but I don't know 
when we'll get to it.  If a lexer for Scintilla were to appear we'ld 
certainly be happy to integrate it. ;-)
