Hi all,

the list below provides 17 new default styles in addition to our existing 14
default styles, making it a total of 31 default styles. Albeit this sounds
like a lot of default styles, the list makes a lot of sense to me.

The list includes all styles that we discussed in the last two rounds, plus
dsPreprocessor, dsAttribute, and dsImport. I added dsImport since a lot of
languages have the concept of imports, modules, or include files, and other
text editors (e.g. vim) highlight these imports in a special color (which
I personally like :p )

A discussion is still welcome, although I'd be happy especially about
Ship-it!-like feedback ;)

The next step is to implement this in KF5.

Lengend: -: existing default style. +: new default style.

Text
- dsNormal
  This default style is used whenever no special highlighting is required.
- dsKeyword

+ dsAnnotation  (e.g. @... in Java, @param in Doxygen)
