Add better static analysis, IntelliSense, and general formatting abilities (like allowing tabs) in the "Advanced" editor

In the beginning, I was quite puzzled that: 1) The "Advanced Editor" is not even a basic editor for M scripting (e.g. far less capable than Notepad V1.0) 2) M has about double the functions of Excel, yet there's no Intellisense 3) In recent times, proper case for default steps names was replaced with spaced names that end up with ugly and error prone characters in the resulting script. Finally, it occurred to me that the "advanced" editor was designed as a way of viewing recorded steps and making light modifications. It was never designed to do anything substantial, like creating scripts from scratch, or making substantial modifications to recorded scripts. I made my peace with the editor a long time ago when it became clear that it was not going to get better anytime soon (that was about two years ago, and it turned out to be true). I get the syntax highlighting, function intellisense and all of the editing functionality that I need in NotePad++. The advanced editor is merely used to paste scripts created in NotePad++
