Just for question, would this be possible with this new Eclipse Technology
Project named "Mylar"?

I would like to add something like User definable highlighting. E.g.
highlight default C/C++ types differently to user defined types, and
therefore possibility to add user defined types and keywords, by regular
expression.

e.g.
Highlight default C types in FG/BG White/Red, because don't use them.
typedef unsigned char u8; ... Use u8 for e.g. normal highlighting.
typedef struct { /* ... */ } S_MODULE_MyStruct;
typedef union { /* ... */ } U_MODULE_MyUnion;
typedef enum { /* ... */ } E_MODULE_MyEnum;  ... Use S_*, U_*,E_* as
highlighting criteria.

E.g. allow also multiple templates for documentation ("doxyygen like"/"user
definable (regex)"). Parse function documentation and use this as
help/synopsis.
