Hi,

Great! Below is what I think.

Not sure of this, I feel like it doesn't apply to most languages and those to 
which it does apply could as well use a different style for it ...
I'd leave it out.

This is useful I think. Many languages have it, and it makes sense to 
highlight it in a different color. Characters in a raw string mean something 
different than in a non-raw string quite often, and it's useful to make the 
user aware of this.

How are chances we can instead have a RegEx highlighting and switch to that 
for regular expressions? As far as I'm aware in most languages it should be 
rather easy to guess which strings are regexes, buy just looking at the  
built-in functions which deal with them. Do you think that's feasible?
Same goes for SQL, by the way.

Not worth it imo. Undetectable in most langauges, and where you can detect it 
it's probably builtins and you can use dsKeyword or something.
Maybe we could have a dsBuiltin instead? (Doesn't that exist already?)

That could make sense.

Covered by dsWarning in my opinion.

Can we switch to the surrounding language mode instead?

Those sounds good, although I'm not sure dsPositive is useful.

We could try to start porting some of them and then we'll see. We can add new 
default styles any time, right?
I'm still pretty sure we will need about five dsMisc styles if we want to keep 
the others somewhat on-topic.

Greetings,
Sven
