Try to keep related things together - first the variable questions,
then the prompt questions, then more customization, then syntax
incompatibilities, ...
I'm not convinced all of these are actually frequently asked, or that
all frequently asked questions are here, but that's for later.

This makes history searches case-insensitive, unless the search string
contains an uppercase character.
This is what vim calls "smartcase".
Fixes#7273.
Closes#7344
Apply a targeted fix to the place where complete() is called to handle nested
variable assignments. Sadly, reporting an error is probably not okay here,
because people might legitimately use aliases like:
alias vim "A=B command vim"
This is all a bit ugly, and I hope to find a cleaner solution. Supporting
completions on commandlines like `x=$PWD cd $x/ ` is a nice feature but it
comes with some complexity.
This is too important to not be one.
For one if it couldn't be loaded for any reason it would
break a lot of fish scripts.
Also this is faster by ~20x.
Fixes#7342
4f0ade7a73 broke the tests when LANG was
C, so the MB_CUR_MAX==1 path wasn't working.
Seemingly that cast is doing some work here?
Just revert that bit for now, since this path is unimportant
anyway (please, please, please, please use a unicode capable locale).
This is a reimplementation of the "vectorized" ASCII detection
from str2wcs_internal. This handles the case where only part of
a string is ASCII. It also avoids pointer overflow issues and improves
commenting.
Prior to this change, str2wcs_internal had an optimization for ASCII
inputs. However the main cost was the repeated bounds checks when
performing push_back() on the resulting wcstring.
Switch to determining the number of ASCII characters, and then appending
those all in one go. This improves the time in the 'convert_ascii' test
from ~450 usec to ~75 usec.
"function --argument" is not a thing, it's "--argument-names". This only
accidentally works because our getopt is awful and allows abbreviated
long options.
Similarly, one argparse test used "--d" instead of "-d" or "--def".
Some formatting improvements, an explanation of $PWD, and some updates
- --on-process-exit is gone, the fish_command_not_found event is gone,
nobody has sent enhancements via the mailing list in years.

This harkens back to the days of fish's "we don't need no stinkin'
echo" minimalism. That's long past, we have a bunch useful builtins
now just because they are useful, not because they have to be builtins.

The person reading this is "you". It's completely okay and sounds
better to address them directly.
When we're talking about OS users or users of fish script the reader
writes, "the user" is still okay.

When pressing tab repeatedly, completions only computed on the first one. This
is because the old logic assumed that completions are present if the last
key was tab. Recompute them if there are no completions at all.
Fixes#6863
When pressing \ep on an empty commandline, the cursor would stay at the
beginning of the commandline. Move it to the end of the previous command,
this feels a bit more natural.
