Re: Colorizing braces using indicators

Actually, I wrote my code first and since I knew you could get the line 
state from within the lexer, I figured there was a way to set an indicator 
which is how I discovered IndicatorFill(). When it wasn't working, I did a 
Google search for IndicatorFill and that's how I discovered it was being 
used in the Python lexer. The documentation isn't very clear what an 
indicator value is but near as I can tell, it's just some user-defined 
value so you can put whatever you want. I could've just used a value of 0 
but I figured maybe I do want to see which value it is 
using SCI_INDICATORVALUEAT.
