Instead of storing regexes in each regions, move them to the core
highlighter in a hash map so that shared regexes between different
regions are only applied once per update instead of once per region
Also change iteration logic to apply all regex together to each
changed lines to improve memory locality on big buffers.
For the big_markdown.md file described in #4685 this reduces
initial display time from 3.55s to 2.41s on my machine.
This wording was valid for an old version of that patch that foolishly
add a switch to "map" to allow recording history. Happily we found
a better solution. Now commands inside user mappings never add to
prompt history (unless you use "set-register"), so be clear about that.
After opening a markdown file
```b
```
```c
int main() {}
```
markdown-load-languages will run an "evaluate-commands -itersel".
The first selection makes us run "require-module b", which fails
because that module can't be found. Since -itersel only ignores the
"no selection remaining" error we fail to run "require-module c". Fix
this by ignoring errors.
Recently, switch completion were given the menu behavior.
Unfortunately this breaks cases like
:echo -- -mark<ret>
where the hypothetical user wanted to actually display "-mark", not
"-markup".
Simply bail if there is a double-dash. This is not fully correct,
for example it wrongly disables switch completion on
echo -to-file -- -
but that's minor, we can fix it later.
In future, we should reuse the ParametersParser when computing completions,
which will obsolete this workaround.
So far they have only been talked about in source code
(HistoryRegister), not in documentation.
Let's give them an official name so users can find them better;
"prompt history register" seems better than "history register" since
the former gives more context. OTOH, in future other registers (like @)
could grow into history registers, so I'm not sure.
State that the history registers are only changed by _interactive_
prompts; that's not quite true yet for user modes but I'll push a
separate fix for that.
We often use the pattern «map global normal ": foo"». The space
after the colon is unnecessary since execution of the mapping won't
add to history anyway, since 217dd6a1d (Disable history when executing
maps, 2015-11-10).
With the parent commit, the space is no longer necessary for user
mappings, so there is no reason to continue the cargo-cult.
Remove the space from mappings to set a good example.
Commit 217dd6a1d (Disable history when executing maps, 2015-11-10)
made it so with
map global normal X %{:echo 123<ret>}
X does not add to prompt history (%reg{:}).
Unfortunately this behavior was not extended to mappings in the "user"
keymap, nor to mappings in custom user modes.
In my experience, not adding to history is almost always the expected
behavior for mappings. Most users achieve this by adding a leading space:
map global user X %{: echo 123<ret>}
but that's awkward. We should have good defaults (no nnoremap)
and map should work the same way across all modes.
Fix this by also disabling history when executing user mappings. This
is a breaking change but I think it only breaks hypothetical scenarios.
I found some uses where user mappings add to history but none of them
looks intentional.

On a command prompt like
"set-option -remove buffer aligntab "
we fail to show the aligntab-specific info . Fix this by skipping a
leading -remove, just like we skip -add.
Add an explicit specialization of contains() because otherwise I'd
need to write something like
contains(Array{"-add", "remove"}, param)
