It's not apparent how highlighting matching pairs works in theme definitions #952

I've gone through the theming wiki page and default theme to try and extract this bit of info but failed without actually experimenting with combinations of theme definitions myself. Would be useful to mention it or at least leave a comment about it on default theme.
As I mentioned, I've only figured it out with experimentation: STYLE_DEFAULT foreground color needs to be set for the matching pairs effect to happen.. Which seems like a strange dependency.

Is this problem with the implementation of https://github.com/orbitalquark/scintillua or an upstream problem? The latter probably should be closed in preference of the scintillua issue tracker.
