Yes, you were too fast or I was too slow.

I only want feature requests that stand a reasonable chance to be implemented before 
version 3.0 (due after 2025).

You can. But IMHO this one is a bad example of such a feature request.
Good one, because you and Michael feel responsible for that and the issue can be 
assigned:
http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=12730
Good one, because Martin is extending synedits features:
http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=13514

Good idea. I will try to make the wiki off line in 0.9.30.

I fear I offend people, if I close this issue with "No change required", "Won't fix" 
(it is not true, patches are excepted). I don't see how I can resolve this issue, so 
I will keep it open, unless the reporter requests it to be closed.
