I might mention that the typical "add-on" for dealing with IDL in other
editors involves nothing more than describing the keywords, comments,
strings and commands to be colorized. There is far more to IDLWAVE than
this; in fact, it comprises probably less than 1% of the total codebase.

made IDLWAVE what it is today.
