Identifiers.

> - define a range class (for example TSynRubySynRange, you can copy
> TSynPasSynRange and rename all Pas in Ruby). The range class is needed to
> store the code fold state for every line of synedit. (all lines with the
> same state share the same range object).
> Martin, maybe some parts can be moved to a
> TSynCustomHighlighterFoldedRange?
> - then see all overrides in TSynPasSyn. I guess Ruby will do many things
