Would anyone care if Leo didn't support Scintilla or Pygments?

I would like to simplify Leo behind the scenes.

I will have to check but IIRC VR3 uses pygments for rendering RsT code parts.

VR3 uses it because the Markdown processor does syntax highlighting of rendered output using pygments. It's also used for Asciidoc rendering by an external Ruby Asciidoc processor but in that case the user needs to install it as a Ruby gem, and I think that's beyond what VR3 itself needs to provide natively.

Thanks for your comments. PR #4740 continues to support all legacy colorizers. I have no plans to remove that support.

This PR is now ready for review. It simplifies Leo's redrawing and recoloring infrastructure without changing Leo's API.
