With the option, SynEdit presents an overview column, next to the 
vertical scrollbar (or on the right side of the edit).
This column represents the entire file, not just the current screen.

No it is not documented. That is, because the feature is still 
developed. The API for it (for people using Synedit in their own code) 
may still change).

The other options (for SynEdit) that I am aware of, are all either for 
debugging (enable various console output), or enable asserts in the code:
SynDebug
SynCaretDebug
SynTrimDebug
SynFoldDebug
SynFoldSaveDebug
SynCheckPaintLock
SynClipboardExceptions
AssertSynMemIndex

None of them are guaranteed to stay as they are.

You may find other IFDEF in the SynEdit code, some of them are left 
overs from a time long gone. Using those old ones will likely not even 
compile....
