02d0e50b61 Fix typo (verb clarification) in math.rst
Was: "parameter expansion takes before expressions are evaluated."
Now: "parameter expansion happens before expressions are evaluated."

I suspect the original intent was to use "takes place," but I see "happens" as less idiomatic and therefore may benefit non-English-native users.

7254dfecb2 fish_indent: Print the failed files with --check
Also return the number of failed files.

I decided to *just* print the filenames (newline-separated because
NULLs are annoying here) to make it easier to deal with.

See #7251.

a2b2bcef6e Add a $status_generation variable that's incremented for each interactive command that produces a status.
This can be used to determine whether the previous command produced a real status, or just carried over the status from the command before it. Backgrounded commands and variable assignments will not increment status_generation, all other commands will.

2740473a65 docs: use parsed-literal to highlight interactive examples
There are a few code blocks where the default highlighting does not
work and the documentation looks bad as a result. Usually this happens
when we are demonstrating an important interactive feature, such as
autosuggestions, syntax highlighting, or tab completion.

The pygments highlighter was not designed for code samples like these.
But it is important to show the behavior clearly in the docs. I am
attempting to make these weird examples look as much like the "normal"
code blocks as possible.

* __fish_prepend_sudo: Use $history[1] if commandline is empty

Currently, if you press alt+s with an empty commandline, it inserts

Now, it inserts "sudo " followed by the last history entry, which
makes it a replacement for `sudo !!`.

Add an "_" builtin to call into gettext (#7036)
* Add an "_" builtin to call into gettext

We already have gettext in C++ (if available), so it seems weird to
fork off a command to start it from script.

This is only for fish's own translations. There's no way to call into
other catalogs, it just translates all arguments separately.

This is faster by a factor of ~1000, which allows us to call
translations much more, especially from scripts.

E.g. making fish_greeting global by default would hurt cost-wise,
given that my fish starts up in 8ms and just calling the current `_`
function takes 2ms, and that would have two calls.

Incidentally, this also makes us rely on a weirdly defined function
less, so it:
Fixes #6804.

Fabian Homborg
9354dd6971 Add fish_add_path, a simple way to add to $PATH
This is a function you can either execute once, interactively, or
stick in config.fish, and it will do the right thing.

Some options are included to choose some slightly different behavior,
like setting $PATH directly instead of $fish_user_paths, or moving
already existing components to the front/back instead of ignoring
them, or appending new components instead of prepending them.

The defaults were chosen because they are the most safe, and
especially because they allow it to be idempotent - running it again
and again and again won't change anything, it won't even run the
actual `set` because it skips that if all components are already in.

Fixes #6960.

fd45877848 docs: Link builtins
When we say "the XYZ command/builtin", we should typically include a
link. The exceptions are

- In the documentation for that command - no need to link to ulimit in
  the ulimit page
- When we've already linked before - not every thing needs to be
  clickable, or clicking it will cause the browser to mark fifty words
  as visited. This is roughly what wikipedia does for crosslinks.

3f3b3a7006 Export arrays as colon delimited, and support path-style variables
This commit begins to bake in a notion of path-style variables.

Prior to this fix, fish would export arrays as ASCII record separator
delimited, except for a whitelist (PATH, CDPATH, MANPATH). This is
surprising and awkward for other programs to deal with, and there's no way
to get similar behavior for other variables like GOPATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

This commit does the following:

1. Exports all arrays as colon delimited strings, instead of RS.

2. Introduces a notion of "path variable." A path variable will be
"colon-delimited" which means it gets colon-separated in quoted expansion,
and automatically splits on colons. In this commit we only do the exporting
part.

Colons are not escaped in exporting; this is deliberate to support uses
like

    `set -x PYTHONPATH "/foo:/bar"`

which ought to work (and already do, we don't want  to make a compat break
here).

0f0bb1e10f Don't resolve symlinks with cd
This switches fish to a "virtual" PWD, where it no longer uses getcwd to
discover its PWD but instead synthesizes it based on normalizing cd against
the $PWD variable.

Both pwd and $PWD contain the virtual path. pwd is taught about -P to
return the physical path, and -L the logical path (which is the default).

81a987c39c Fix range expansion with negative ends
If just one of the range ends is negative, this now forces direction away from it.

I.e. if the beginning is negative, we go in reverse.
If the end is negative, we go forwards.

This fixes cases like

    $var[2..-1]

if $var only has one element.

21890ccac7 function: restore '%self' functionality for --on-process-exit
One key use of process expansion, used in currently-shipped code, is for running a function on
current shell exit.

Restore the use of %self as a valid argument (and add `self`) and document this change.
