Timing:
The codetools of the IDE were developed before fcl-passrc was fully
developed.
Maybe now the fcl-passrc parser is at a stage where it becomes an
option to use it in the IDE.
Hmm, I thought that it was because fcl-passrc is for code that is mostly
correct, while an editor parser (e.g. highlighting etc) must be able to
recover to a sane (but not necessarily 100% correct) state after errors?
That is certainly an element; Although I don't think the highlighter
uses the codetools, as it is based on synedit. The codetools themselves
are much less forgiving about wrong code. It's usually impossible to get
any of the codetools to work if there is an error in the code somewhere,
and not necessarily in the unit that you happen to be working in.
