backlighting

[local]

Hi,

There is commented code in macro.c and help.etx which is disabled
for NEdit 5.4. The code implements the variable $backlight_string
and the function set_backlight_string() allowing to operate by
backlighting via macro.

$backlight_string
  The current value of the window's backlighting specification.
  This is empty if backlighting is turned off. It can be changed
  through calls to the built-in macro function set_backlight_string().

set_backlight_string( [string] )
  Applies the given string, which should be in the format of the
  nedit*backlightCharTypes X resource, to the current text window,
  turning on   backlighting.  If the value of the string passed is
  "default", or if no parameter is passed, the nedit.backlightCharTypes
  X resource's own value will be used.  If the empty string, "",
  is passed, backlighting will be turned off.

The uncommented code is well compiled and stable works.
Is there a reason to neglect this code?
