Finalising provisional features for next release 3.4.0

Discussion:

There have been some provisional features for Unicode line ends and substyles included in Scintilla for about a year. These features were implemented by the interfaces IDocumentWithLineEnd and ILexerWithSubStyles. The interfaces have been extended and modified during the year with the most recent change 5 months ago. I would like to declare these interfaces finalised for 3.4.0 so that they can be implemented and used with certainty.

Since adding new interfaces is relatively difficult, anyone who wants to add any more methods to the ILexer or IDocument interfaces or would like the current methods changed should make their case now.

Hello Neil,

is it possible to add LineEnd() to IDocument, similar to LineStart()?

LineEnd is in IDocumentWithLineEnd which is the successor to IDocument.

Interfaces are never changed after they are published. Instead, new interfaces extend the old interfaces.
