The changes only affect the current and new documents.

The difference with syntax coloring is that it remembers per file 
extension.

So if you load a .h file and change "Syntax Highlight as" from e.g. C++ 
to ObjectiveC, all future .h files will be colored like that.

Part of me would like all settings to work like that, part of me thinks 
it'll be perceived as very non-deterministic (and IMHO only really 
useful for soft wrap).

Kind regards Allan
