Avoid semantically significant comments in kak files
Kakoune's balanced strings require that delimiter characters nested inside them are also paired, so for example in %{ }, each nested { must occur before a corresponding } to balance it out. In general this will automatically be the case for code in common scripting languages, but sometimes regular expressions used for syntax highlighting do end up containing an unbalanced bracket of one type or another. This problem is easily solved because there is a free choice of balanced delimiter characters. However, it can also be worked around by adding a comment which itself contains an unbalanced delimiter character, to 'balance out' the unpaired one in the regular expression. These unbalanced comments are not ideal as the semantic role they perform is easy for a casual reader to overlook. A good example is catch %{ # indent after lines with an unclosed { or ( try %< execute-keys -draft [c[({],[)}] <ret> <a-k> \A[({][^\n]*\n[^\n]*\n?\z <ret> j<a- gt> > # indent after a switch's case/default statements try %[ execute-keys -draft kx <a-k> ^\h*(case|default).*:$ <ret> j<a-gt> ] # deindent closing brace(s) when after cursor try %[ execute-keys -draft x <a-k> ^\h*[})] <ret> gh / [})] <ret> m <a-S> 1<a-&> ] } in rc/filetype/go/kak. Here, it is not instantly obvious that the comment containing an unmatched { is required for correctness. If you change the comment, delete it or rearrange the contents of the catch block, go.kak will fail to load, and if you cut-and-paste this code as the basis for a new filetype, it is a loaded gun pointing at your feet. Luckily, a careful audit of the standard kakoune library turned up only three such instances, in go.kak, hare.kak and markdown.kak. The examples in go.kak and hare.kak are easily made robust by replacing a %{ } with %< > or %[ ] respectively. The example in markdown.kak is least-intrusively fixed by rewriting the affected regular expression slightly so it has balanced { and } anyway.
