Problem Description:
In PowerShellISE it is fairly easy to add functionality via menu items that perform some action against PowerShell file types. However, when editing non-PowerShell files it is more difficult to extend. For instance I created a SQL pack for PowerShellIse which provides an IDE for SQL queries. This works OK, however there are a few things that can't be done like implement my own syntax, color and file type associates (Think Vim!). If syntax, color and file type where customizable this would allow extending PowerShellISE beyond just editing PowerShell files. I realize its called PowerShellISE, but it would be even more useful if it were Windows_ISE a pluggable editor for all things. You've given us a great Windows shell, now give us a great Windows text editor :)

No timeline yet, but per this blog, we do plan on extending the add-on model for ISE: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/powershell/2016/01/20/introducing-the-windows-powershell-ise-preview/
