Strange, I could not find this exception.

Anyway, I don't feel that it would be right to switch to Colorer,
regardless of its license.  The internal editor should not be another
emacs.

I understand that for the recent "converts" from Windows lack of Far
Manager is pretty frustrating, but I don't like the idea of rewriting
Colorer in C and maintaining a forked version, while keeping it compatible
with the new data files from the "official" version.
