    There is a bit of inheritance here: many environments that use Scintilla
start with the default colour scheme used by SciTE which was based on
PythonWin, and I think that PythonWin got the basics (blue keywords and
green comments) from Visual C++.

   It is not just the waste of ink. Most printers are very poor at printing
black or dark backgrounds, with ink bleeding into characters or light
streaks and other marks on laser printers.
