Out of curiosity, what does this mean "Highlight occurrences" uses?  Is it just a call to specific Scintilla method?

Hum... not convinced. Maybe I do not see correctly what you mean... I have nothing against such feature, but just let me disable it.

Why use macros if there could be more elegant way?

Because sometimes, macro are the elegant way.
I used them in a professional project. Without macros, users of my library had to writes classes of near 100 lines. 100 lines which could be mostly written by a robot, with not so well known calls to stl (my colleagues are not C++ dev). With macros, the resulting code was of 20 lines of a pseudo language, far easier to write and read. Those macros also allowed me to fix some bugs I never understood, thanks to gain of readability.
Interest of macros against inline functions, by example, is that they do not need to respect C or C++ syntax, and that give some powerful features. Now I am thinking about that, maybe in C++11 some of macros uses can be replaced by lambdas, but I do not think lambdas are so easy to read. Other problem is that some people can not use C++11 at the moment.

That's a good point!

Freem: Naturally background colors should be optional like any highlighting.
