Create language-foo plugin example
At the present moment we are limited to support of a specific set of languages in the ide/editor. I know that Sun's SunStudio compiler suite now provides a variety of language 'bindings' (for want of a better term) -- if we could have documentation on how to migrate those bindings, and (more importantly) how to create our own (eg for c, c++, python, perl, ruby, lisp etc etc) then that would be a big win for the community. Specific targets of this RFE should include -- syntax representation and recognition -- code folding mechanisms -- highlighting -- annotations
Please submit this as a separate issue to editor. This issue is strictly about debugging, we do not care about syntax highlighting, code folding and annotations.
