SciTE for HLA?

Anyone ever take a look at a source code editor called SciTE? It's got
an ASM properties file that supports MASM and partial support for NASM.
I thought it might be easy to adapt the existing properties file to
support HLA syntax instead, but I ran into a problem right off the bat
-- couldn't get it to use anything other than ";" as a comment
character. A further digging into the docs revealed that some changes
might require a re-writing of the lexer and a re-compile of Scintilla
and SciTE, so I guess it might take more than just a shuffling of the
values in the properties file. Before I get in over my head, I was
wondering if anyone else had stumbled upon this editor and fiddled with
these types of changes? One neat feature I noticed in the docs is
meantion that one can provide some sort of API definitions file so that
the editor provides Tooltips and AutoComplete functionality as well.
