If others want to try: It's in fpc 2.4.0.

This is a fake. But a nice one. See below.

Maybe it is hard to implement it fast *and* flexible?

Indeed. For a regex highlighter jedit is very fast.
Just replace all (* and *) with { } in macosall.pp.
Then add a (* at the start and jump to the end.
jedit needs only 5 seconds to scan here. That is quite impressing for  
a regex highlighter. OTOH just pressing up key gives 100% cpu and the  
cursor moves very slowly. So I would not say that jedit is "extremely  
efficient with LARGE files". The random access of files is impressing  
though.


Martin, while doing the same in synedit: It seems that after every  
replace the highlighter is started. When doing multiple replaces only  
one start is needed. Maybe this can be improved.
