unfortunately i'm not sure whether we can join forces, because of the 
different platforms/approaches we use - Java vs. D/native, manually 
implemented vs. automatically generated lexer/parser.
but since i'm mainly targeting (compact) editors (like SciTE and soon 
Vim) and you are aiming at a full scale IDE, we won't stand in each 
other's way, either.
