Question: modifying lexers requires a recompile, correct?

Hi there,

Thanks for making SciTECO and for making it available.

Apologies for filing this as an "issue" via GitHub, it's really more of a question seeking confirmation (or otherwise). My understanding is that while the lexer files, e.g., c.tes, lisp.tes, pascal.tes, etc. in the lexers directory (under "lib"), can be customized WRT keywords (for instance), SciTECO being built on Scintilla (and Lexilla) means certain customizations require changes to the C++-defined lexer sources and a recompile, correct? For example, and in particular, if I wanted to create lexers (or modify existing lexers) that only defined comment characters/tokens.

Thanks in advance.
