I'm still looking this over and trying to construct some test cases worthy of
posting.  I've got everything in reservedwords.cpp to play with, so that ought
to keep me busy once I get a chance to actually `work on it.


Great job, Christoph, getting the scanner up to speed (and beyond!)

Well, something I would like added to SDL is at least one other way to tag
comments, which would be displayed in a different hue.
Because it would certainly be useful to be able to highlight some very important
text in a long /*   ...   */ comment block

Along those lines, perhaps if there were an "expert mode" comment tag, then the
scanner could just ignore the rest of everything on that line, or perhaps
something like #comment(100) would treat the following hundred lines as
comments....
