Hmmm.  With the new /* and */ comments, some doors open for interesting 
documentation in scripts.  We may want the script editor to not 
colorize lines between such lines or to make that an option.

And maybe Monte's Script Browser aid can use text styles as hints or 
can go the other direction create formatted headers.

Or I could copy sections from the spec right into handler headers.

This is worth exploring.  Maybe RunRev can make limited styles like 
this a sanctioned feature.

You have opened an whole new way for me to think about scripts.

Hmmm.  Now if Image Source was on the text menu, I could even add 
pictures to scripts.
