But it is an idea... Whitespace  not a real highlighter issue, a 
whitespace s not defined by the kind of highlight

It could be done as a TSynEditMarkup. (which could still enquire with 
the highlighter, is a token type allows for whitespace at all.
=> a shell highlighter, might return foo\ bar as one word, and that 
should not be whitespace detected....

  But that might require further work, before it can move...
It would simplify the scanning issue...
