Automatic reparsing of %sh{...}, while convenient in many cases,
can be surprising as well, and can lead to security problems:
'echo %sh{ printf "foo\necho bar" }' runs 'echo foo', then 'echo bar'.
we make this danger explicit, and we fix the 'nop %sh{...}' pattern.
To reparse %sh{...} strings, they can be passed to evaluate-commands,
which has been fixed to work in every cases where %sh{...} reparsing
was used..
With the introduction of -match-capture for the lua region highlighter,
the string closing regex had spurious captures that were not going to
match.
Fixes#1850
Block comments in Lua were broken, apparently due to the opening
sequence being interpreted as a line comment. Changing the order in the
highlighter seems to fix this issue.
That means we can now have highlighters active at global, buffer, and
window scope. The add-highlighter and remove-highlighter syntax changed
to take the parent path (scope/group/...) as a mandatory argument,
superseeding the previous -group switch.
boost regex tolerates non-escaped special characters, and escaped
non-special characters. Standardize on stricter syntax, where
special characters must be escaped, and non-special characters must
not.
The option is now used as a fallback when detection by extension fails. Some
scripts like `base/mail.kak` and `base/html.kak` still rely heavily on it.
Initialising the `comment_line_chars` and `comment_selection_chars` variables
in language support scripts created a hard dependency of those scripts
to `commenting.kak`, which would create errors when this script was not
loaded, e.g. when running tests.
