it depends on how this is driven

- Syntax highlighting: If it's hard coded for latex, it will never look 
good for context, Basically a context syntax highlighter can be very 
simple i.e. line based and stick to coloring specific characters (some 4 
categories) as well as \macronames. Probably the most advanced 
highlighter is the one I made for SciTE as that one also deals with 
classes of commands, embedded mp and lua.

- Can one make a complete switch between latex and something else, i.e. 
can one get rid of all latex things or will it be some hybriod, partial 
overload. If the latter is the case, it will be quite confusing. (Last 
time i looked into texworks for instance it had such hard coded features 
that made no sense for context, so i gave up on it.)

if you know what input the editor takes, we can extend this:

mtxrun --script interfaces

You'll see that there are several editors mentions so adding another one 
is no big deal.
