get-styles-sticky

In the normal mode for a text editor, style settings are sticky. With sticky styles, when a string or character is inserted into an editor, it gets the style of the snip preceding the insertion point (or the snip that includes the insertion point if text is inserted into an exiting string snip). Alternatively, if change-style is called to set the style at the caret position (when it is not a range), then the style is remembered; if the editor is not changed before text is inserted at the caret, then the text gets the remembered style.

With non-sticky styles, text inserted into an editor always gets the style named ``Standard'' in the editor's style list.
