Some new metadata features have been committed to Lexilla in the 
test/Metadata directory.

A C++ program 'Metadata' will load a given Lexilla shared library, 
instantiate each lexer, and print out the results from the metadata calls. 
This includes the keyword lists, options and styles supported by each lexer 
when that lexer provides metadata through calls. Old-style function lexers 
provide less metadata. Metadata can be built with gcc or clang with the 
provided makefile. There are instructions for building with Visual C++ in 
the source.

A file test/Metadata/lexerMetadata.txt contains the results of running the 
Metadata program on the standard Lexilla shared library in bin.

The resulting text can be viewed by users or processed by scripts that want 
to generate styling configuration files or dialogs. If projects would like 
this to be formatted into YAML, JSON, or similar, that could be an option 
to Metadata.

Running 'Metadata -check` checks that the Lexilla shared library in bin 
produces the same output as lexerMetadata.txt, then exits with a failure 
status and produces lexerMetadata.txt.new with the new results if they 
differ. This will be used to ensure there are no regressions from changes 
to Lexilla and that any changes are consistent.

A python program test/Metadata/CheckMeta.py checks for consistency between 
include/LexicalStyles.iface, test/Metadata/lexerMetadata.txt, and lexer 
source code files lexers/Lex*.cxx.
