Heh. There (SQL) is another reason to go with dsSpecialString instead...

Not always. First, there may not be an associated language, and second, 
this might also apply to the markup that starts such a region. (Both are 
true of reST, for example.) Also, the HL's need rules for that, and 
sometimes it isn't possible yet (e.g. non-bracketed reST in CMake).

I think I agree that I'd like to try hard to avoid these... they lack 
semantic meaning, which means they won't be used consistently, and thus 
will tend to frustrate users as they won't know how, and won't be able, 
to set them to their liking.
